The father of "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi (KEHR'-uh dee-oh-GWAHR'-dee), former Republican congressman Joe DioGuardi, is set to announce he is running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Kirsten Gillibrand.

DioGuardi represented the suburbs north of New York City for two terms before he was defeated by Democrat Nita Lowey in 1988.

He is a certified public accountant who lives with his wife in Ossining, N.Y.

DioGuardi is one of those gadflys that never go away. If he’s the nominee, I’d support him, but he hasn’t won an election in over 20 years.

I would say “Just as long as he’s conservative” but this is NY.

I'd rather see Dan Senor run instead.

This guy has no chance.

He is a very good accountant though.

NY politics could be great fun upstate, if the NY GOP grew a brain.

It’s amusing this would be the second Senate candidate (after Scott Brown) with an “Idol” connection.
