Stormy Daniels senate race hots up

When Stormy Daniels, porn star of repute, said she was running for the US Senate many scoffed. They thought it was all a publicity stunt. They admitted that her intended opponent, incumbent David Vitter, was damaged goods but they were sure that the Democrats would find someone to run against him. Daniels, they suggested, was a no-hoper. Her supporters begged to differ and she embarked on a listening tour.

Things are moving up a notch or two. Daniels is still in the race and the name of Democrat Charlie Melancon of Napoleonville is being touted around. Apparently he needs a good bit of touting. From what I can gather, Melancon is someone likely to repeat the same porkbarrel business in the senate. A fight between Vitter as the Republican and Melancon as the Democrat could see Daniels coming up through the middle, in a manner of speaking.

Louisiana is in for some fun and games!

Stormy Daniels keeps on storming!

I was wondering what was happening with the Stormy Daniels campaign for the US Senate seat in Louisiana. I found the Team Stormy site and they report that on July 2nd and 3rd, she swept through Lafayette, Shreveport and Delhi (not the one in India!) on the second leg of her Louisiana listening tour. A video from Stormy’s stop in Shreveport, where she dined with patrons of the world-famous Southfield Grill, is shown below.

Two things I noticed. People are beginning to take her seriously, which suggests honesty and straight talk is preferred by voters over spin and deceit. Second, even though the reporter on this piece suggests Daniels thinks she is not qualified, one wonders what qualified those senators before. Certainly not the ability to think that money grows on trees!

Porn star for US Senate?

There have been some sexually explosive political representatives before, as with Ilona Staller, better known as the Italian porn star and former MP known as La Cicciolina. Now the state of Louisiana is about to get a chance to vote for, or at least draft, a porn star known as Stormy Daniels. She is going up against Senator David Vitter, who himself got into a spot of bother over having his name on a madam's phone list.

She will have to wait until next year before she could swap seats with Vitter in the US Senate, but perhaps she would be an honest addition to the representation spectrum. After all, many on Capitol Hill have been seen out at night. Remember Wilbur Mills? Having her in the Senate may make them think twice. I doubt she would conduct that kind of business inside the pot and they would be reminded all the time that America is not as squeaky clean as they might have us believe!
