Politics: Darkhorse candidate Thune will run in 2012

  • This could be the next President of the United States. You may not have heard of him, but Sen. John Thune of South Dakota has been floated for some time as a possible GOP candidate in 2012. Although he hasn’t been on people’s radar as much as, say, Romney or Palin, The Weekly Standard reported today that he’s decided to run. Thune is young, fresh, and pretty, and gets bonus GOP points for having unseated Tom Daschle in 2004. What he doesn’t have (yet) is name recognition. Nevertheless, 2012 just got a bit more interesting. source
