BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana-born porn star Stormy Daniels says she is considering a 2010 run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican David Vitter, whose family-values reputation was marred in 2007 when his name was linked to a Washington prostitution ring.
Daniels, 30, insists she’s serious. She’s spending her own money on a “listening tour” of voters as she considers a possible run, and said she isn’t just starting a publicity stunt to promote her work or embarrass Vitter.
Daniels supports bringing troops home sooner from Iraq and replacing the federal income tax with a national sales tax. Other issues are closer to her professional background, including pushing to remove child porn from the Internet and keeping minors from viewing adult material.
Vitter has refused to discuss the “serious sin” he confessed to after his phone number was linked to Deborah Palfrey, the so-called D.C. Madam.
