TFM APPROVES!

Via World O'Crap, "Ten Commandments" (ex) Judge Roy Moore wont rule out running for president.
Ousted Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore is focused on trying to get his job back but will not rule out a third-party run for the presidency that could threaten President Bush's re-election chances.

At a recent speaking engagement, the man who became famous for his defense of a Ten Commandments monument was asked during a question-and-answer session whether he would run for president, reported Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund.

"Not right now," Moore said, according to Fund, who noted Moore's friends say he is undecided about whether to run for president or to wait two years and seek Alabama's governorship.

Jessica Atterbury, a spokeswoman for Moore, emphasized yesterday to WorldNetDaily Moore is focused on his appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court but indicated he would not rule out a candidacy for the country's highest office.
I was wondering what sort of opposition to Bush's right would form first; whether it would be Pat Robertson-style (a Christian fundamentalist response to the apparent 'cultural pluralism' of, say, letting Iraq and Afghanistan incorporate Islamic law into new constitutions), or if it would be Perot-style (deficit-hawk). With Moore's hintings here, the answer may be the former. I was guessing the latter, but what are you gonna do.

I'm guessing he wont run, though.
