Add Dick Armey to the Republican list. >> Presidential Run for Armey? Other former shakers on Capitol Hill likewise seem to be in the mood, if not to resume shaking, to at least jiggle a little. Witness former House majority leader Richard K. Armey (R-Tex.) who retired from the House in 2002 and has spent his time since heading up Freedom Works — a group that advocates shrinking government and lowering taxes. Armey is now headed to Iowa for a speech on Sept. 19, stoking speculation that he may fancy himself a candidate for president in 2008. Although Armey told ABC News that he has “no interest in Dick Armey for president,” he left the door open — wide open. Aides were quick to point out that the former leader is likely to visit the presidential proving grounds of New Hampshire and South Carolina later this year. An aide said Armey hopes to “keep the Reagan legacy alive in the presidential primary.” An Armey bid would have any number of hurdles, most importantly the weight of history. The previous former House member to be elected president was George H.W. Bush. freedomworks.org
