With FF support apparently... Cant be true surely, I had hoped we had seen the last of this fool.

Well the Sindo has given up on its resident ;Lost Cause' i.e bertie, so it may as well adopt a new one !

Is this political correctness at work here ?
The thing about equality is that a group or section of society has to stop thinking of itself as being special.and immune from a little humour !
And frankly the whole process of labeling people with whom you disagree as ' homophobic' has been done to death on these norris threads.

The thing about privilege is that you're completely ignorant of the damage you do by making comments like that.

A phrase Norris would do well to bear in mind as the author of his own downfall.

Then again, we are talking Sindo here, so I'd wait until the stoy appeared in a reputable source.

i think the above picture describes the norris petitioners better than words ever could!

Given the results of recent polls and this mornings news that DN may reenter the race with some FF support, I wouldn't be to sure.
It looks like the Norris petitioners might get their way.

That reporter gets less sure of himself as the article goes on.
Trying to force Norris into a statement maybe? Very anti the process of Norris to allow this speculation imo, but typical of the selfish attention seeking whore that he is. Are you in or out David?

Either that or Norris is behind it himself - trying to provoke a response from FF to see what his chances are of getting a nomination handily.

It is quuite extraordinary the relationship that has developed between Norris and The Sindo ! Does anyone have any idea of what is motivating it ?

They really will do pretty much anything to curry popular support.

Probably the Sindo not wanting Higgins to come within an asses roar of the presidency or to try and dissuade SF from running a candidate.

I did also if it was an attempt to divert attention from the forthcoming publication of the mahon tribunal.

If David Norris has any sense he will come out and deny this story.
Saying that he is behind the story himself is complete bulls*** in my opinion. How many self-inflicted injuries could a man take ?

He will be on the Late Late next Friday so we'll all know by then if not before.

The media has a commercial interest in getting Norris into the campaign. Without Norris, we're going to have a very dull campaign with a low turn out.

paddyandy · 11-09-2011 01:50PM

He would bring all the miasma of low culture to the Arus and at a
time like this we need all the dignity we have.We're Cap in Hand these
days & the international business social scene is replete with humour about our banking system.
The Germans think we're funny and Germans are difficult to amuse
about serious matters.Norris brings a new and vile Mystique to the office it's a signal victory all the way for the lower elements who preoccupy themselves with every activity below the waist and very little above it.His appointment will create a stronger call for a new right wing a new party???

This is very true.. But from Norris' own point of view, he would be crazy to re-enter the campaign.. Didnt Joe Jackson say that there were "other worse things in the pipeline" that the papers were about to release ? ...

Has Norris himself actually confirmed or denied this story?

As a member of FF, this won't be happening, the Sindo strikes again for speculative rubbish to put on its front page.

seamus · 11-09-2011 02:34PM

FF are desperate to be to able to claim any kind of political victory.

Norris is about the only candidate who could be supported by FF without it being a kiss of death. Anyone else and the electorate would avoid voting for them just to spite FF.

Alopex · 11-09-2011 02:53PM

Senator Norris to state publicly and unequivoca..
that he is once more a candidate for the 2011 Presidenti..
race 4/1

Surely if this story was reliable paddy power would have slashed these odds to nothing.

the only positive i could take from it if norris was backed by FF would be for worse allegations to come out to torpedo norris and mortally wound FF in the process

Get it into your head, FF will not be backing Norris, the reason the Sindo prints rubbish like this is the amount of people willing to take iot as gospel.

I heard David Norris is gay.

A Primal Nut · 11-09-2011 04:48PM

It's good if he runs, as the people should decide rather than the media.

I really hope he doesn't win though; what an embarrassment, and would make it more difficult for us to criticise the church for their tolerance of child-molesters. Imagine President David Norris having to criticise the Vatican for how they deal with child abuse. They would rightly laugh at us.

I would imagine him being nominated by FF would by the kiss of death for him though. Anyone I know who wants to vote for him is very anti-FF. As he's considered the anti-establishment vote.

Isn't this the country of sheeple that voted ff in again and again and then on the brink of Bertie obvioulsy taking the country in its present mire - yet again?

Then we had the re-run of the Lisbon Treaty on the ff / lab / fg promise of 'jobs'?

The World if not the Euro elite is already laughing at us

I reckon ff coming in behind a paedophile wanna be might also pleasingly be the kiss of death for ff and not so much for the PWBe

Where is Brendan Smith when Ireland now needs a Presidential Candidate?

He should run. Let the people decide on polling day if he's suitable for the presidency, not the right-wing loudmouths

Who do you think owns the right wing Sindo that is eagerly pushing Norris's campaign....but utlra right wing tax exiles O Reilly and O Brien !!!!!
All good catholics too, I might add !
The more I think about, the more I realise what a good match Norris the Sindo and FF are.

Is David Norris Toast?
