Peter Schiff hit it out of the park on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show a few minutes ago. He was billed as one of those that got it right on the economy and received cheers for it.
He spoke the hard truths to an audience who seemed glued to his every word.
What he didn’t do was announce anything different regarding running against Dodd. He still says he is “considering it”. Many of us hope that the exploratory committee in Peter Schiff’s mind arrives at a conclusion soon.
Watch the video below.

He won't run. He sees the next few years as a major money making opportunity with all of this support. He plans to expand his company and write another book. He won't waste his time on a campaign. He wants to make a name for himself in the finance world. He will string his supporters along for as long as possible though. I still have some hope that he will run; deep down I just doubt it.

Jon Stewart's opening line to Peter Schiff: "You sir! I have been watching you on television for years now…!"
That was great but I wish he had said something about Schiff and his message before now. I hope this is the beginning of many high-profile appearances for Peter Schiff to get his message out to the mainstream.

Schiff in DC to Assembly Team for Senate Campaign
http://politicsmagazine.com/blog_post/show/393
…At first, Schiff was reluctant, noting just how hard it would be to take down a five-term senator, especially as a Republican in a blue state. Now he sounds all but convinced. He’s got a team of consultants in place—who are working on a “month-to-month” basis as he considers the choice—and he had to dash out of our interview so he could meet with NRSC chair Sen. John Cornyn….

PAJ, he can have them both, it's not like he has to choose between one or the other…he can run and expand his business at the same time…he truly wants Washington to change.

I think he wants to run, but first he needs to make sure that the NRSC would be willing to support a Libertarian running as a Republican — hence his meeting with Sen. John Cornyn.
