This strikes me as hilarious:
Here at CPAC a well placed source with knowledge of the Republican Senate Committee plans tells me that Larry Kudlow is “considering” a Senate run against embattled Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd.
Larry Kudlow has a long track record of being wrong about just about everything. Just last week, for instance, he was addled enough to say of Obama’s mortage plan that “the people who win here are Fannie and Freddie. The Americans who paid their taxes on time and their mortgages on time get hurt” – even though Fannie and Freddie are, of course, now owned by the US government. And that’s just one example among many, many more – check out Atrios’s archives for all kinds of gems.
I’m sure John Cornyn strongly prefers former Congressmam Rob Simmons for this race, and I tend to think this Kudlow rumor won’t go anywhere. If nothing else, the guy has a pretty cush life and a… complicated past. But I’d love to see Kudlow make a fool of himself on the campaign trail.
No, seriously, who is he?
I’m curious to know what the floor percentage for Republicans in Connecticut is.
..at least if you’re Democrat.
I wonder if Kudlow is using this as contract leverage much in the same way that Chris Matthews did. The comedian Richard Lewis who knows Kudlow pretty well describes him as the devil and a complete moron LOL.
Republicans love to tun TV and movie stars of all sorts. Last cycle in NH Jennifer Horne, a local TV star rain in NH IIRC. But there’s also Reagan, George Murphy, Arnold, Kay Bailey Hutchison, J.D. Hayworth, John Barrasso who made it.
Kudlow is one of thise people able to state with complete moral certinty his opinion which is invariably wrong. How that will play in CT, who knows. He’s no Jodi Rell, though.
She must not have been interested at all, otherwise I can’t see Obama picking her if she was. I don’t get why he couldn’t just nominate Dean though. What in the world does he have against him?
Well that would be great…Kudlow predicted the Dow “going straight to 14000” the last time it was at 12K or 13K..this was after hit had been over 14K, pulled back, and then briefly rallied…instead, the Dow headed straight to 7K…if Dodd has been weakend, Kudlow as his opponent will guarantee the seat remains Blue.’.another in the recent crowd of Conservative fools: Kudlow, Will, Hannity, O’R, Limby, Palin the wolf killer,Annie C, Bobby “the liar” Jindal: keep it up and you guys will guarantee the reps. will get their 40%
Reportedly got bounced out of cabinet and COEA consideration for W because of rehab for Bolivian marching powder. Guy was pretty upfront about it, so kind of figured he had decided public life was out of the question.
