Friends push Ailes for president

[beowolfe]

Friends and associates are encouraging Fox News chief Roger Ailes to jump into the political arena for real by running for president in 2012, top sources tell POLITICO.


"Ailes knows how to frame an issue better than anybody, and that's what we need now," says one Ailes friend who is encouraging the Fox founder, chairman and CEO to seek the Republican nomination to run against President Barack Obama.


Ailes, 69, has an aggessive, winning personality that made Fox News a huge success — and a huge target for liberal critics.


Frank Luntz, the well-known Republican pollster, said Ailes could be a force if he makes the run.

I can see the film OutFoxed getting heavy circulation if this were to actually, happen.



I doubt very much it will, though.
