It may be difficult to take Kristin Davis’ candidacy seriously, but it should not be dismissed for several reasons.

Davis announced at a Libertarian Party conference that she will seek the New York governorship once held by her famous “Client 9,” Eliot Spitzer.

Davis has the help of longtime Republican political operative Roger Stone. Stone is taking the campaign seriously, having worked with Davis for months on planning campaign strategy. His goal is to get her half-a-million votes. That will not get her elected governor. It is probably a pie-in-the-sky dream. However, if the effort is commensurate, then Davis may be an entertaining sideline in the gubernatorial campaign, as well as a thorn in the side of Eliot Spitzer’s plans for a political comeback.

Davis’ platform includes legalizing prostitution and marijuana. She claims that will bring $2.5 billion into New York’s coffers. Davis also supports gay marriage and supports the NRA in its support of gun owners.

Davis has been a vocal critic of the way justice was meted out in the Spitzer scandal. She notes that she spent four months in jail after being convicted of running a prostitution ring. Spitzer never was indicted.

Davis has more to say about Spitzer, however.

“His abuse of some of the women I arranged for him to spend time with raises serious questions about his character,” Davis said.

I guess character is a sliding scale in this evaluation. Many people would not think Davis is one to judge character. Still, consensual prostitution is one thing. Abuse, if Spitzer did that, is another.

Davis and Stone have plans for a rather unconventional campaign.

She already has lined up support from rapper 50-Cent and California marijuana growers, and then there are her wealthy former clients.

Davis plans to put to work members of the sex industry, such as Penthouse pets.

“We’ll get four, make them notary publics and have them, suitably attired, collecting signatures at Grand Central Station during rush hour,” suggested Davis.

This will help keep Eliot Spitzer underground for a while longer.
