I just heard this on Ring of Fire radio with Joe Papantonio. Too funny! Although Lou has lots of name recognition, I don't think he's got a chance in this one!

6. I swear the PTB force candidates to hire Rollins so they'll lose
He seems the kiss of death for every campaign he runs since the 80's.

7. Here's an interesting article about the ol' bigot...
Dobbs Loses His Base

The former CNN host has been saying too many positive things about immigration for some of his fans' taste

By Alex Koppelman

Lou Dobbs may hope that he can get Latinos to forget about the past few years of his CNN show, and the myths about Latino immigrants in which he trafficked. (Doing so, after all, would probably be a necessary step if he does want to mount even a semi-serious run for office.) But the people who liked what he was saying back then aren't going to forget -- in fact, they're pretty upset about Dobbs trying to rewrite history.

Dobbs has even managed to turn off the man who was once his biggest supporter. William Gheen, the president of Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC), has devoted quite a bit of energy in recent years to trying to persuade Dobbs to run for president; he even set up a Web site about the cause. But in a press release sent out Thursday morning, ALIPAC announced that it's "withdrawing support" for the former CNN anchor.

12. Yes I do want to bet, and being from NJ, I KNOW Dobbs hasn't a chance

but I bet that you won't be around long enough for me to collect from you.......



Let's see him get votes in Passaic and Bergen and Essex counties, Hispanic strongholds. His only voter plurality is in Morris and Hunterdon, two rich Reich-wing counties.

Hunterdon County is a county located in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2000 Census, the population was 121,989. It is part of the New York Metropolitan Area. Its county seat is Flemington<1>.

Hunterdon County ranks as the 4th among the highest-income counties in the United States with a per capita income of $36,370. It ranks fourth among U.S. counties for household income according to the most recent U.S. Census. Hunterdon County's median household income was $93,342, behind only Fairfax County and Loudoun County, Virginia and Howard County, Maryland. As of 2005, Hunterdon had the third-highest median property tax of any county in the nation at $6,988, the highest in New Jersey<2><3>. As of the Tax Foundation's rankings based on 2006 data, Hunterdon had taken the top spot for highest median property tax at $7,999.<4><5>

We will get out the vote and bury him, and I will work for the Menendez campaign when the call goes out.
