Kudlow to jump in against Chuck Schumer?

From Eric Dondero:

As reported here at Libertarian Republican, the New York Governor's race is shaping up to be a completely chaotic free-for-all on all sides; a Cuomo vs. the hapless incumbent Paterson, failed Hillary foe Rick Lazio for the Republicans and even a Libertarian Party primary between a wealthy upstate lawyer and a celebrity call-girl madam involved in the take-down of former governor Eliot Spitzer.

Now it's increasingly likely that the previously unthinkable may occur: The State's two US Senate seats could be contested.

Rumors have been swirling for months of a Pataki challenge to Gillibrand. A new poll lends credibility to a potential Pataki effort. From The Albany Times-Union:

in a general-election matchup, Gillibrand lags former Gov. George Pataki 43 percent to 49 percent.

Kudlow's got the Conservative Party line if he wants it

And now this from LoHud.com (Lower Hudson Valley):

The state’s Conservative Party’s executive committee yesterday passed a resolution that urges CNBC host Larry Kudlow to run for the U. S. Senate against Sen. Charles Schumer.

The calls for Kudlow to run will likely increase after a Marist College Poll yesterday showed Schumer’s approval rating dropped below 50 percent for the first time in nine years.

There’s also a Draft Kudlow Committee set up by western New York political activist Michael Caputo.

So far, Kudlow hasn’t indicated he plans to run for the seat, though he has met with state GOP chairman Ed Cox and Conservative Party chairman Michael Long and said last week that he’s going to give it careful consideration.

Larry Kudlow Libertarian for Senate?

Kudlow is a known Ayn Rand devotee, and has been described on occasion as a "libertarian." Andrew Miller at BigGovernment.com reports the following, "Kudlow should run against Schumer":

New York Tea Party leaders are talking up the potential candidacy of CNBC Talking Head and former Reagan Advisor Larry Kudlow. A graduate of the University of Rochester, Kudlow is one of the architects of the Reagan tax-cuts that sparked one of the great economic boom in modern times... as a leading anti-tax supply side economist. Kudlow is also known as one of the most effective debaters on the Right.

Kudlow is the kind of candidate who could raise tea party money across America . Kudlow could also command the Republican and Conservative nominations and might even be able to petition his way on the ballot as the Libertarian party nominee.

Kudlow's entry would make for a very interesting Senate race, certainly overshadowing Pataki vs. Gillibrand. It would be a clash of the giants. The outspoken, tough-minded Kudlow no doubt has the ability to match the scrappy Schumer in the rough and tumble world of New York politics.
