(Kudlow & Co.)
Kudlow is a famous conservative voice on television and radio, but in March 2009 he had his sights set on the political arena. The host of CNBC's "Kudlow Report" was considering a run for a Senate seat in Connecticut in 2010. He would have taken on Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), but weeks later Kudlow chose not to attempt a campaign.
It would have set up an epic clash between Dodd, the Senate Banking Committee chairman who has been badly burned by the political fallout from the recession and bonus payments to insurance giant AIG, and Kudlow, a supply-side economist. Kudlow has done almost everything else out there; he has twice worked at the New York investment firm Bear Stearns, started his own consulting group, battled a cocaine addiction and is now one of the more prominent faces on business television.
