PHOENIX - First it was governor and now there is speculation that Sheriff Joe Arpaio may run for president in 2012.
Arpaio says he is heading to New Hampshire next week, which is a key early primary state that presidential candidates have to visit in order to build momentum.
Adding fuel to the fire is a statement from Arpaio political advisor Chad Willems issued Thursday in which he said, "People just don't go to New Hampshire if they are not interested in these things."
The sheriff is scheduled to be in New Hampshire as a keynote speaker at a republican gathering.
Arpaio says he plans on being Sheriff for six more years but said "never say never" when asked if he plans to make a bid for the White House
This is AWESOME. A man who could wind up in Federal court running for President? Bring it on!!!

Yes please. I hope he wins. He and Palin should run together.

If he wins I think we can just tell (the reasonably sane) people to flee, write off the state and rechristen it Teabaggerstan, then all the retards can have their libertarian paradise.
Then maybe Mexico will invade!

Mr. Harley: I'm afraid my people haven't. I'm very sorry... I wish it were otherwise.

If he's elected governor, or worse, President, I'd like to say right now; Anyone on SD.NET that wants to flee to Canada, I'll help you job hunt up here before you arrive.
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.
It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

I'll be on the first plane to Hong Kong if he's elected President. That said I think it's safe to say he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell and any talk about it is him trolling the rest of the US.

Not particularly worried here about a third-rate shitkicker who thinks he's the second coming of Mussolini. By comparison, Tom Tancredo was a legitimate candidate. What you worry about is someone with money, charisma, and no Federal investigators up his ass with the exact same views.

Why do you hate Mexico so much?
Maybe Sheriff Joe will be doggone stubborn enough to run as an independent candidate in 2012? For added laughs and giggles, he could pull a Eugene V Debs (no disrespect meant to Mr. Debs here) and run his campaign from a jail cell?
Turns out that a five way cross over between It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Ali G Show, Fargo, Idiocracy and Veep is a lot less funny when you're actually living in it.
Oh for crying out loud people, every little narcissistic American shitstain with an ego size inversely proportional to their actual competence, intelligence, charisma, fundraising ability, and experience tries to run for president. A lot of them most people don't even hear of because they're just that insignificant. Some of them pretty much make hopeless and pointless (occasionally even quixotic) attempts at presidency their full time job. You might as well worry about Cynthia McKinney running for president, although she's more entertaining and less harmful.

The fact he can find enough headcases willing to elect him sheriff moves the possibility of him making it further up the chain up from "laughable" to "remote but worthy of some concern" in my eyes.
There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.
