Kristin Davis, arguably the world’s most infamous madam and the woman responsible for making the phrase “Client 9″ a household name is running for governor.  Affectionately known as the “Manhattan Madam,” Davis announced over the weekend that she’s throwing her panties in the political ring and will run for her former client, Eliot Spitzer‘s former New York State Governor seat later this year.

While on the surface it would simply appear to be an elaborate, sex infused publicity stunt, Davis has enlisted the help of one of the GOP’s most fearsome strategists, Roger Stone whose credentials include running successful operations under Nixon, Regan and both Bushes.  Admittedly, Davis revealed, her campaign was initially launched in spite of Spitzer in the hopes of stealing votes.  However now that it appears he won’t run she hopes her candidacy will highlight reform further drawing attention to the double standard that  she served nearly four months on Rikers Island while Client 9 escaped indictment.

“This is not a hoax, a prank or a publicity stunt,” said Stone. “I want to get her a half-million votes.”

Even opportunist, 50 Cent has endorsed her candidacy and offered to mobilize his G-Unit.  And she may be in line to receive even more reputable political endorsements and contributions.

“They may be inclined to contribute to keep her from revealing their names,” said one insider.

According to Stone, Davis plans to enlist the “services” of her contingent of Penthouse Pet friends to solicit signatures at Grand Central Station during rush hour, a tactic sure to yield results.

Davis will run under the Libertarian ticket and recently laid out her cleverly branded “taxation as confiscation” platform at the party’s convention in Manhattan.

“I’m a natural Libertarian,” said Davis, who is for gay marriage and believes the legalization of prostitution and marijuana could provide $2.5 billion in revenue to help close the budget gap.

“I was valedictorian of my high-school class,” she continued.. “I worked 10 years in finance. I was vice president of a hedge fund. I went on to build a multimillion-dollar business from scratch.”

One thing is for sure, unlike with Spitzer she’ll have nothing to hide literally and figuratively.
