Jim Snyder is considering running for lieutenant governor.

The former Republican candidate and amateur lexicographer announced today that he is considering a run in 2008, getting a dig in at likely gubernatorial nominee Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue, who beat him in the 2004 election:

"The lack of leadership and new ideas from the office of Lieutenant Governor since the incumbency of Lieutenant Governor Jim Gardner has been discouraging to the people of North Carolina and invites bold, new leadership based on firm and proven ideals of economizing government and lowering taxes."

Snyder also said that Republicans should unite "against corruption in state politics."
