President Dobbs? Group Begins Its Push

Posted Jan 16, 08 10:48 PM CST in Politics 

(Newser) – With the Republican race in disarray—and many of the party's candidates too soft on immigration for its liking—a conservative group today began a campaign to draft Lou Dobbs as an independent candidate. The Americans for Legal Immigration PAC launched a website seeking support for the CNN host, a vocal advocate of cracking down on illegals, the Los Angeles Times reports.

No immediate word from Dobbs, but he said, "I can never say never," earlier this month. The group says it fears that a candidate softer on immigration—any of the Democrats, for example, or even McCain, Huckabee, or Giuliani—will eventually land in the White House.
