Oh my, too sweet for words. Puhleeze let this happen. Too many jokes, makes head hurt.
“Tucker Carlson for president?” That’s the headline at the personal blog for Brendan Nyhan, a former Spinsanity editor who is now a graduate student in political science at Duke. Nyhan says that Carlson, the former “Crossfire” host and former writer for The Weekly Standard, among other magazines, may seek the nomination of the Libertarian Party, according to a rumor making the rounds among delegates to the Libertarian convention, which is being held in Denver this weekend.
Someone is polling the idea, at least. Nyhan links to the blog of Michael Munger, the chairman of the political science department at Duke and the Libertarian Party candidate for governor of North Carolina.

Lew Rockwell, the former congressional chief of staff to Ron Paul, is hearing the same rumors. “Certainly somebody is polling LP delegates to ask if they would support him,” Rockwell writes on his personal blog.
