Stormy Daniels Forms Exploratory Committee For Senate Run

Stormy Daniels, adult film star and aspiring politician, announced on Thursday her formation of an Senate exploratory committee -- the first official step toward her run for U.S. Senate against David Vitter.

Daniels recently completed a listening tour of Louisiana, after being drafted to run by an online group called, appropriately, Draft Stomy.

Read her statement below.

Stormy Daniels Announces Formation of Senate Exploratory Committee

NEW ORLEANS, LA. - May 21, 2009 - Today, Stormy Daniels issued the following statement announcing the formation of a committee to explore a potential campaign for United States Senate:

Today, I am excited to announce that I am taking the next step in exploring a possible run for United States Senate. Two weeks ago, I embarked on a listening tour where I had the pleasure of hearing the thoughts and concerns of my fellow Louisianans. These conversations were highly encouraging and convinced me to officially explore the possibility of running for the United States Senate. To this end, I have formed an exploratory committee to gauge Louisianans' support for my potential candidacy.

I do not take this step lightly. While I have been humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response my potential candidacy has generated thus far, my decision to run for United States Senate will only be made after I have had the opportunity to discuss this prospect with as many people across the state as possible. Too many in government ignore the voices of those whom they claim to represent. I promise you that I will not.

Forming this committee will allow me to raise the funds necessary to explore a possible run and will provide Louisianans an opportunity to continue sharing with me their concerns and ideas. I invite you to visit www.teamstormy.com and join me in taking this next important step.

In the coming months I will continue my listening tour and am eager to visit western and northern Louisiana. I look forward to discussing further the vital priorities facing our state and nation--including reforming the tax code to a system that rewards, rather than penalizes, success, protecting our children and promoting personal responsibility as an alternative to government intrusion.

We are excited by the prospect of Stormy taking up our challenge. Now we ask you to carry on the momentum by visiting Team Stormy, signing up and making a contribution today!

Thank you all for your support of the DraftStormy movement.

Sincerely,
The DraftStormy team

I thought Al Franken was a stretch, this would be totally ridiculous. The trailers from her movies would no doubt make interesting ads.

[dotsthefunist]

Wasn't she in Babs does Bullwinkle ?

[irv4oh]

I saw her interview on MSNBC, and she isn't stupid. She's definitely more intelligent that several officials currently elected to office.

[Sensiblebg]

shes hot

[enriquecaliente]

Only in a AMERICA.

You go girl.

[Lochmon]

Actually, no. The same thing happened in Italy a few years back... and she won.

First Katrina, then Gustav and now Stormy. G-D must be really pi.ssed with the GOP.

[Venicedread]

Damn, no video of the "exploratory committee"?

[texanna]

Even though I am on a restricted budget due to the times, and I do not live in LA I will totally give her campaign money! Just watching that lech, Vitter, try to debate her while salivating like Pavlov's dogs would be worth it.

[RepublicansRejected]

Go Stormy! :-)

[Disdain]

Another clown possibly running for office goody!

[Larkinvos]

Oh, God, please let her run.
I can't wait to hear Vitter try to condemn
her lack of family values.

[scottinsd]

What if the polls don't like her? Oh wait, who am I kidding....

[Repubnomore]

"Team Stormy"? Seems more like a verb than a noun!

[Lochmon]

You're onto something there. Her campaign team will probably become known as "the Stormy Gang".

[BLinCincinnati]

And people thought all the white guys at Palin rallies were all worked up over Sarah... wait till they meet Stormy ;)

[oldleftcoastdude]

The floors at her rallies would be like super glue.....

[c2morow]

Awesome! Gr.oss, but awesome... LOL

The irony here is that there's very little that Diaper Dave can do to attack her. She's up front about her sexuality and how she's made a living vs him doing it illegally while claiming to be morally conservative. Though I don't expect her to be able to win a repub primary, same as Specter, I think she'd wipe the floor with him in the general. His biggest fear shouldn't be her, it should be the club for growth putting their hat in the ring. If that were to happen, it'll draw away the social conservatives that can't stand him and would vote for him just to spite her. The people that see her as a novelty or at least those that intend to vote against him but can't stand the club for growth might go her direction and in a three horse race, I think she'd have a real...wait for it...shot! I couldn't help it.
