CNN host Lou Dobbs on Friday shot down rumors that he has been considering a run for New Jersey governor.
Dobbs said that he's flattered by the support, but doesn't have the temperament for politics. "I'm just the wrong personality type," he said.
Rumors of a possible Dobbs run had been circulating New Jersey political circles for days. His denial was first reported Friday on The Star-Ledger of Newark's Web site.
Dobbs, 62, hosts CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight" and is known for commentary on national politics, especially illegal immigration.
He lives on a 300-acre farm in Sussex County in rural northwestern New Jersey. County elections board records show he was registered as a Republican, but changed to an independent in 2006.
Democratic Gov. Jon S. Corzine has said he intends to run for re-election next year.
"It must have been my latest Quinnipiac poll that scared him away," the governor joked. The poll found 52 percent of New Jersey voters disapprove of Corzine's performance.

Lou Dobbs, the Champion, friend and Ombudsman of the American people, would have found many patriotic individuals voting for him as a the Governor of New Jersey. But many of us have breathed a sigh of relieve, because without Mr. Lou Dobbs, the journalist., we would be like the 'blind' leading the blind. We would have lost our leader and be groveling in the dark, for the raw facts.
As we cannot trust the major media for the truth, many issues such as illegal immigration, badly negotiated free trade treaties, North American Union or commonly known as NAFTA, and corruption within Washington would remain hidden. The globalist free open border, free market agenda of the push for AMNESTY. To allow, as in Europe the free movement of cheap labor throughout the North American Continent. NUMBERSUSA.
