PHILADELPHIA — Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, known for his rants against illegal immigration, is considering a 2012 bid for a New Jersey U.S. Senate seat as an “intermediate step” to a possible presidential campaign. “That is definitely one of the options on the table,” Dobbs’ spokesman, Robert Dilenschneider, said Wednesday.
A run for the Senate would pit Dobbs, a registered independent, against Democratic incumbent Robert Menendez, the chamber’s only Latino and a proponent of immigrant rights.
Speculation about a political future began almost immediately after Dobbs parted ways with CNN on Nov. 11. McClatchy Newspapers
