Kudlow’s Accomplishment: Blumenthal Frets About Coming Campaign.

Full marks to chatty Republican Larry Kudlow for making incumbent U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) a mass of nerves about his upcoming re-election campaign. Daily Ructions understands the tightly wound faux Vietnam veteran is worried bordering on frantic at the prospect of facing the television talker, despite the great advantage Blumenthal enjoys in polling and perception.

Don’t be surprised if Sergeant Blumenthal’s hair turns even darker with worry. The near-septuagenarian (he turns 70 in February) may be in a twist over facing another opponent who can explain how a job is created. Explaining his appeasement of the Iranian ayatollahs may also present a challenge this round.

The Greenwich millionaire’s fraught manner is said to have at least one aide counting the days to retirement vesting and release from the daily niagara of calls. 

Kudlow  is expected to make a decision early in 2016 on whether to seek the Republican nomination to face Blumenthal.

UPDATE: The CNBC contributor may announce an exploratory committee this weekend.
