Life with Lou....

Here's some facts of life about Lou Dobbs.

Today, he ran a poll and had ~2,200 responses.

In contrast, Wolf Blitzer's poll attracted about ~95,000 responses.

*******
When Lou Dobbs left CNN to become the CEO of Space.com, the Moneyline program was taken over by Stewart Varney and Willow Bay. Contracts with Varney and Bay were broken when Dobbs got caught holding an empty bag at the end of the dot.bomb era. I don't know who Dobb's guardian angel is at Time/Warner, but Dobbs is one of luckiest S.O.B.s in entertainment. Call him Mr. Special Privileges. (Unless you consider that moniker fully owned by Shrub.)

****
Like others here, I do appreciate the populist bias of Dobbs' current editorial opinions. My only reservation would be to question his sincerity, and his audience size. The former because I'd like to believe in the man as well as his cause. The latter because it seems to me that with a 95:2 ratio between those who want to beat themselves up with facts they can't possibly use from Wolf Blitzer instead of the more actionable news beat that Dobbs is covering indicates a certain lack of comprehension among the aggregate CNN audience.

Just my two cents. And worth every penny of it, I'm sure. ')
