Lyndon LaRouche has indicated that he does not plan to run for president in 2008. This will be the first presidential election in which he has not run for president since 1972. In 1976, he was the nominee of the U.S. Labor Party. In all presidential election years starting in 1980, he has sought the Democratic Party nomination and has tried to run in as many Democratic Party presidential primaries as possible. He also ran as an independent in 1984, 1988 and 1992.
