There's a movement afoot to draft Keith Olbermann to run for U.S. Senate in Connecticut in 2012.
Small problem: he doesn't actually live in the state, though he used to. But that hasn't stopped a Daily Kos contributor who goes by the name Stranded Wind from flouting the idea. He or she has set up a Facebook page and a Twitter account promoting Olbermann's candidacy.
"So ... now that Keith has been thrown out by the Comcast merger ... he'll take a few weeks off, clean the garage, maybe go fishing ... but a man his age is nowhere near ready for retirement,'' Stranded Wind writes. "He is, however, just old enough, smart enough, polished enough, and has all of the other attributes that would make him a darned good Senator for the state of Connecticut."
Olbermann could easily move; candidates from Robert Kennedy to Hillary Clinton have done it in the past. And he certainly has name recognition.
