Lou Dobbs mulls White House bid
Former CNN host Lou Dobbs fueled already rampant speculation about his political future Monday,
sending the clearest signals yet that he's mulling a bid for president and leaving third-party political operatives salivating over the possibility of a celebrity recruit for the 2012 campaign.
Less than two weeks after announcing his departure from the cable network and after a series of interviews in which Dobbs encouraged speculation about his political plans — the anchorman known to fans
as "Mr. Independent" finally made his presidential ambitions explicit on former Sen. Fred Thompson's radio show Monday.
Asked if he might make a run at the White House in 2012,
Dobbs answered flatly: "Yes is the answer."
"I'm going to be talking some more with some folks who want me to
listen in the next few weeks," Dobbs told Thompson.
"Right now I'm fortunate to have a number of wonderful options."
