DEL.ICIO.USICYMI: A Sam Nunn presidential update
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The question below was at the tag end of a telephone interview with Sam Nunn published over the weekend.
The news is in who he’s talking to. To wit:
Q. Are you weighing in with any of the presidential candidates, advising any of them on this, and are you considering throwing your own hat in the ring?
A. I’ve made it clear to any presidential candidate I’m available for advising them on this - whether they’re Democrats or Republicans.”
(Nunn said he has discussed the issue with former Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn.; Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.; Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.; Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del.; and Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn, and that he is scheduled to meet on the subject with former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C.)
“As far as throwing my own hat in the ring, as I’ve said, it’s possible but not probable. At this stage I am completely consumed with my present activities and not making presidential moves.

Dear Sen. Nunn,
Please run for Governor of Georgia as an Independent. I know quite a few politicians are ready to pull out of the two parties to support you. Any chance?
Sincerely, Georgia over party

You might want to remind Mr. Deans that there’s a “c” in “Barack” and throw a [sic] up on your reproduction here. Obama may have “Hussein” in his name but last I checked there was no “Ehud.”

I predict he will be either Hillary Clinton, or Barack Obama’s running mate evn if he said that he is not interested in being anyone’s vice presidential running mate, or he might change his mind & run for the senate if no credible democrat rises & take on chambliss.
