Jonathan Martin passes on Louisiana political columnist John Maginnis's word that former Louisiana governor Buddy Roemer -- a Congressman elected as a Democrat in 1987, defeated as a Republican in 1991 -- is weighing a run for president. Of the United States.
"It certainly interests me. There is a lot of work to be done," he tells Maginnis. "It will take months to work out if it happens. I don't want to scare anyone."
His general platform, it sounds like, would be an attack on the "professional corruption" of Establishment politics.
As for financing the campaign: "I can't talk to you about that until I figure it out. I will be looking to see if it's possible."
