Politico Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin on Wednesday did not rule out running for president alongside Fox News host Glenn Beck in 2012. Palin was asked during an interview with Fox News’s “Fox & Friends” about the chances that she “would run on a ticket with Fox’s own Glenn Beck,” as the conservative outlet Newsmax reported might be a possibility in 2012. “I saw that, I saw that; he probably got a kick out of that,” Palin...

Charie, yer right...MN gave us Hubert Humphrey, Jesse the Body Ventura (altho his appellation of the media as "media Jackals" will go down in history as one of the greatest descriptions of all time) and Al Franken.

Jesse had a couple of things going for him. He also asked a bunch of young women who were protesting because he had cut their welfare money why they were having babies without being married. He was blunt about it, too.

Totally unlikely. Whoever suggested this to begin with must just be looking to stir the pot. I can't even imagine Glenn Beck running for office. The reporter put Sarah in a tight spot. I think that was the intention, but she gave a great noncommittal answer. It was a no-win question.

It's too bad that seemingly no one would run as a third party type of democrat, or something that would hurt the left for a change...Of course, Odumbo already has the communists and socialists voting for him so a far left guy wouldn't work. Dennis Kucinich tried that and got nowhere.

You can't be a successful single-issue candidate at this level. Look at Tom Tancredo. He barely registered in the Republican party primary even though he was very popular for his stand against illegal immigration. I don't really want a third party; however, I want the GOP to start taking conservatives more seriously and quit tracking so far left. It is pretty much impossible to win president as a third party candidate and what you...

Today's local NJ newpaper has Dobbs squaring off against Sen. Bob Menendez. Can he NOT make up his mind? I, for one would love to see at least one of our NJ "Follow the Democrat Leader" Senators replaced by a Republican - but I'm choosy enough to want a Conservative Republican. Not sure that Dobbs can fill the bill. Memo to Dobbs - Try for the Senate seat first. It's only slightly out of your reach! The White...

Quote: It's too bad that seemingly no one would run as a third party type of democrat, Actually Ralph Nader did fulfill that role back in 2004. But you're right, we need more like him. Quote: Memo to Dobbs - Try for the Senate seat first. It's only slightly out of your reach! The White House is beyond it. My thoughts exactly. The best Presidents tend to be former governors, though Carter was an obvious exception. Dobbs may have...

The man does not have the experience it takes to try for the Presidency. Sounds like delusions of grandeur to me. I love to see his passion to get in there and try to make a difference, but common sense needs to rise above passion!!!

Intersting. Looking at his positions on a lot of issues... well here we go: Pro-Choice Pro-Gun Supported Bush in 2000 Generally pro free market but thinks we should have regulation to protect jobs in America (although he thinks the minimum wage should be higher) Not anti-gay marriage anti-Bail outs Not sure how I feel about him over all. A mixed bag for sure.
