Stormy Daniels quits Senate race

It seems money does talk in elections. Big time! David Vitter is a US Senator for Louisiana who got caught up in telephone sex and other seedy stuff. Stormy Daniels is a porn star who has been thinking of running for the senate this year against Vitter, who has $5 million in his campaign coffers. Stormy has considerably less and it is this that has convinced her that she should pack it all in and return to the day job (or is it night job?).

When I first heard of Stormy Daniels and this election bid I thought it had a lot of sense about it. Why not? I'm not in any way in favour of what she does as a "career" but that's not the point here I think. She came forward, admittedly after some student set up a Draft Stormy campaign, because she saw hypocrisy in action. As I said before, if she ever did get to the Senate she may well do a hell of a job. For one thing, she wouldn't be taking any of the nonsense that already festers the place.

I think she should reconsider her position and make a run for it. If the people of Louisiana want transparency over the same old politics then they have a choice. This may be a missed opportunity. Of course, Ms Daniels would have to be a politician above reproach in the Senate. No more moonlighting. I just think someone like her at the heart of political power could obtain results nobody else could. Louisiana folk may think they should persuade her to reconsider.

Stormy Daniels is most talked about candidate

Stormy Daniels is not the shy retiring type. Neither is she a hypocrite. She's bare-faced in your face about her past, unlike her opponents who are not. According to Lanny Keller of the 2The Advocate.com, "many more people have been talking about Stormy Daniels than Charlie Melancon (her opponent). That’s been nothing but good advertising for the, ahem, small businesswoman thinking about moving from cinematic sin into politics".

I'd say that Stormy's chances will be that much more enhanced if she keeps to the straight and narrow in her political quest. That is tell it as it is. No more pork barrelling, no more baloney. Meanwhile David Vitter is reported to be adopting the tortoise approach to politics. That's a wise move. He'll need that hard shell. Taking the role of the hare could just get him jugged in this contest!
