In Human Events Bob Novak ruminates about a possible Lou Dobbs run for President, which was first reported Thursday afternoon in The Wall Street Journal.

"Michael Bloomberg has been the most likely independent candidate, particularly if Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani win the Democratic and Republican nominations. But Dobbs's hard-line positions on immigration, international trade and globalization starkly contrast with the three New Yorkers.

If Dobbs really chooses to run, his problem would be finding sufficient campaign funds. While billionaire Bloomberg can handle this difficulty by writing a check, Dobbs would be getting a late start in campaign finance."

TVNewser has calls in to Dobbs' office. We await his response.
