Kristin Davis, the "Manhattan Madam" who says she paired disgraced former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer with call girls, will officially announce her own candidacy for governor on Monday.

At 11 a.m. Monday at the Roosevelt Hotel, Davis will announce her plan to petition her way onto the ballot as an independent candidate, according to a release. She will also lay out her platform, which includes her support for gay marriage, as well as support for the legalization, regulation and taxation of prostitution and marijuana to generate state revenues.

Davis will host a few of her current professional colleagues and supporters at her announcement: Penthouse "Pet" Ryan Keely, Penthouse Columnist Victoria Zdrok, and Susan Austin, "Madam" of The Mustang Ranch, will all reportedly be in attendance.

Davis announced her intention to run for governor at a Libertarian convention earlier this month and has reportedly hired veteran political operative Roger Stone to work for her.

I'm wondering if Kristin Davis or Eliot Spitzer is better equipped to improved New York's economy?

This is the type of candidate we need in Tennessee. She needs to come down and get her residency requirement in. Heck, she can stay at my house. We will trade NY for her by giving you Harald Ford from Memphis for your Hillary from Arkansas replacement. Sounds like a plan.
