Lou Dobbs is not delusional – he’s awesome.  [run Lou, run]

Can Lou Dobbs make the leap from the anchor desk to the Oval Office?

A radio interviewer on WTOP joked Monday about the "crazy" idea that the former CNN host could mount a White House bid in 2012 – but Dobbs wasn’t laughing. "What’s so crazy about that?" he responded in the interview broadcast on the Washington, D.C. station.

If he was still with CNN, his running mate would have been a hologram of Wolf Blitzer — but now he’ll have to pick someone else.

Of course we have suggestions:

Snuffaluffagus
Susan Boyle’s body double
Frida Kahlo’s tweezers
Tom Tancredo
Lou Dobbs’ left jowl
Wile E. Coyote
Carrie Prejean
Elian Gonzalez would be a shoe in except he’ll only be 19 on Inauguration Day 2013
