“Mr. Dobbs himself once told me that ‘Q’ ratings that measure the popularity of media personalities found that no other media figure was more respected across the board by Democrats, Republicans and Independents,” writes WSJ’s John Fund. “He claimed he was striking a chord with the broad middle class that transcended ideology.”

And now, based in part on those alleged Q ratings, CNN’s Dobbs is floating rumors that he may run for president, thinking he’d have a real shot a populist candidate. Just don’t tell the immigrants. (He hates them, and they tend to feel the same way.)
