John Bolton may run for President. This is not a joke.

[RandySF]

No, it's not just an attention-getting stunt. John Bolton is seriously considering running for president.

Bolton, the fiery, archconservative former United Nations ambassador, sees an opening in the 2012 Republican field. And his case, while far-fetched, is not altogether implausible.

"As I survey the situation, I think the Republican field is wide open," Bolton told POLITICO. "I don't think the party's anywhere close to a decision. And stranger things have happened. For example, inexperienced senators from Illinois have gotten presidential nominations."

8. True.

His goal, though, is to be selected for VP.

[Journeyman]

9. Yes, well, Monty Paulsen's thrown his hat in for 2012 too . . .

and though totally unqualified – much like his dad, Pat Paulsen, in 1968 – he's better suited to the job than any of the current Republicans being touted. . .

15. I remember Pat Paulsen for President

If I'm not mistaken, he plugged his "campaign" from his "Half-a-Comedy-Hour".

16. And his moustache will be his running mate.

[OhioBlue]

17. Every time I see his name I think of my Republican Senator

Voinovich crying over his nomination to the UN.... IIRC.. Voinovich (again a Republican) feared for the world we would leave our children and grandchildren with this nutso being appointed.

If the dude makes a fellow Republican cry over his nomination to the UN... I wonder how establishment Republicans would receive his prospective run as the leader of the free world.
