Stormy Daniels Admits Senate Run Sounds "Ludicrous" (VIDEO)

Adult film star Stormy Daniels talked with Fox News on Monday about her possible run for Senate against current Louisiana Sen. David Vitter. Daniels announced the formation of an exploratory committee in May, but she hasn't officially decided whether or not she will run for office.

Daniels was drafted to run by a group of citizens who were unhappy with Vitter's leadership. She told Fox News that she realizes the idea of a porn star running for Senate does sound "ludicrous," but she says she's using the opportunity to promote causes she's been supporting for a while -- like internet safety -- while learning more about the issues facing Louisiana.

The aspiring politician is being realistic about her chances for success, and readily admits there might be someone else better suited to the job.

...They dislike David Vitter so much that they think I'm the best person for the job ... I mean, that's kind of scary. I've said before, maybe I'm not, and perhaps me bringing attention to the issues at hand and the state of the Senate in Louisiana, maybe I will encourage someone else to step up and really give him a good challenge.

Daniels is adamant that if she decides to run, she wants her campaign to be substantive, and not a publicity stunt.

"If I'm the person to do that, then I'm willing to do everything I can in my power to make it to make it legit, and like I said, the best that I can do," she said.

Wonder what special interest groups she is owned by? The lube loby? And to her "pork barrel" and "earmarks" have a different meaning.

[dagnome27]

Her candidacy is no more far-fetched than Arnold Schwartzenegger's candidacy for "Governator" - and we saw how THAT turned out (twice!)

[Nosybear]

Should liven up CSPAN.

[iridium53]

People try to vote for the individual who will represent their views the best - the individual that will most try to please the whole of the constituency.

It seems to me that she's more qualified than Vitter - who has tried to do nothing but please himself.

[cactusgal]

I think a lot of guys who don't even know who Vitter is would rather have her.

[NoahVail]

I would rather have her.

[cactusgal]

A missile silo? D@mn! Fanned for that alone.

[trying-to-be-objective]

It is without a doubt that this beautiful woman will be given lots of money by the Repub party, whose members definitely will want to rub more than just elbows with her.

And how bad could a failed run be? If she somehow doesn't entice all the good ole boys in that district to elect her, she'll have a guarantee for a lucrative position as a Fox News anchor afterwards. They love to woo the conservative ultra-christian family-values voters with sexy blonde women as anchors. Their lovely anchors don't even have to have a grasp on English grammar or quality journalism credentials.

[Marklar]

She would be a step up from their usual anchors. They consider themselves journalist­s...at least Stormy knows she is an entertainer.

[kamandi]

As per an interview on the Daily Beast she's running on the ticket of the Democratic party against Vitter who's with the Republican party.

They also say that Vitter after being busted as a client of a local madam's services has become ultra-conservative as a way of rehabbing his image.

[GeorgeP922]

Alright, thats it I got to find one of her videos.

Although Im not into her look, I do have a fetish for Republican chicks.

Mary Carey was GROSS, I think I might do my patriotic duty and investigate this candidate.

[Budokan]

lol, I hear you.

[groosemoose]

You know what? She wouldn't be any worse than these disgraces in office now.

Maybe she's not owned by the credit card and oil industries yet, so maybe she'd even be an improvement.

[MrMojoRisin]

I hear she's really anal about her policies.

[jbeach]

I'll have to entertain her oral arguments, and then investigate the contents of her briefs.

[SpinDown08]

I'll thoroughly investigate all of her positions.­......

[Budokan]

I wonder if she would spread her politics around and be real open for new challenges.

[SpinDown08]

I'm sure her bend over backwards approach to her constituency will be an explosive scene in politics..­..

[CR46]

I bet she has Vitter Cr@%%ing in his dia..per.

[brandnewstuff]

Lets all change the politcal climate- WHY NOT___ I would love to see her whoop his a$$

[moUSAnMe]

where do we send our money

"Daniels announced the formation of an exploratory committee in May..."

Probably not the first time she's done that... Nice!!

[moUSAnMe]

porn stars have hearts too
unlike vitter who has no heart left

[Ohioan730]

I sincerely hope a pr0n star gets a Senate seat. Then perhaps all the political moral mudslinging will cease, ad hominem campaign ad attacks will slow to a halt and pols will stop BSing the American public trying to outdo each other's holiness to get votes. It takes us all down a few notches on the IQ scale when we can't get past adultery and alternative lifestyles so we can really FIX some problems for once.

[danonchalant1]

She certainly is "abreast" of her opponent's weaknesses!

[MrMojoRisin]

I wonder if her oral skills will help her in the debate.

[bannorhill]

She already has a good working relationship with many Democrats.­..

[twisted-european]

I wonder what kind of stimulus packages she would give ... ;-)

[bannorhill]

She could really work both sides of the asile.
