Kudlow for U.S. Senate from Connecticut?

The Family Research Council advises Larry Kudlow to stay at CNBC and not run against Chris Dodd:

The greatest cost would come from your absence from CNBC. This would be a heavy price to pay because the nation needs daily access to someone guided by sound doctrine analyzing economic and financial developments. This is the job for which your lifetime of work and training has prepared you - not sitting in the Senate. It is no small responsibility to provide accurate economic news to the people of the United States in the worst recession since the 1930s. Unless you stay focused on the task at hand there is little chance that the American people will receive via cable or television the high-quality analysis of Obama Administration policies that they deserve for 2010 and 2012.

Me: Whethey Larry runs or not, I don't know. But this economic downturn and our government's response to it could shake up politics in this country and create new kinds of candidates and even new political parties. I don't think it's back to business as usual.
