Senate Run For Bush Adviser Dan Senor?

Is Dan Senor, the face of the U.S. occupation of Iraq, mulling a run for the Senate from New York?

A Manhattan voter received a phone call last night, asking his opinion about Senor and his wife, CNN anchor Campbell Brown. And one-plugged in New York Republican told TPMmuckraker he hears that Senor may be meeting with "potential money people," in advance of a possible Senate bid.

Senor did not respond to a request for comment. In 2003, he was the spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, earning a reputation as an aggressive advocate for the American occupation. He now is a partner at a New York investment firm, and appears frequently on Fox News as a neo-conservative foreign policy commentator.

The source told TPMmuckraker that last night he got a call from a polling firm, asking for his views on several New York public figures, including Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Harold Ford, Rudy Giuliani, and Mort Zuckerman -- as well as Senor and Brown.

All of those figures have been mentioned as potential candidates in the race this year for the Senate seat currently held by Gillibrand -- with the exceptions of Schumer (already a sitting senator), Senor, and Brown.

The source said the caller then asked a series of questions that each seemed to refer to one of the figures on the list.

Is what voters will say

Banksters need more political clout.
