At long last, a Louisiana political candidate I would happily get behind! Baton Rouge born porn Star Stormy Daniels considers running for office

Oh there are so many jokes I could make about Stormy Daniels going out on a Hillary-esque "listening tour" around the state of Louisiana, but I'm going to refrain. For now. And yes, this is totally for reals, but frankly I'm more shocked by the fact that Stormy Daniels is from Baton Rouge and I didn't know it than I am that she's considering a run for office! From The Baton Rouge Advocate...

Porn star and Baton Rouge native Stormy Daniels said Monday that she wants to give voters a voice by starting a “listening tour” in Louisiana.

An Internet-based campaign to “Draft Stormy” to challenge (Sen. David) Vitter has attracted national attention.

CNN.com, for instance, featured an interview with Daniels on Monday. The congressional newspaper “The Hill” also noted the push to turn the porn star into a politician.

Vitter apologized in 2007 for what he called a “very serious sin” after his phone number showed up during an investigation of the escort service operated by Deborah Palfrey, the so-called “D.C. Madam” who was convicted of running a prostitution ring and later committed suicide. He was not charged in the Palfrey case.

Since his apology, Vitter has refused to answer any questions about the incident.

Aaron Baer, a spokesman for the Republican Party of Louisiana, dismissed Daniels’ possible candidacy as a publicity stunt.

“Voters in Louisiana are concerned about real issues that require serious leadership,” he said.

University of New Orleans student Zach Hudson said the “Draft Stormy” campaign is legitimate.

“It’s not a stunt,” he said. “We have every intention of successfully drafting her.”

Hudson said he hopes a groundswell of support will convince Daniels to run.

Daniels, 29, hired a publicist to respond to inquiries about her interest in the Senate race.

She said she will play along to bring attention to certain issues and to remove Vitter from office.

Daniels is critical of Vitter’s response to his phone number being found on a Washington prostitution ring’s client list.

“I might be a slut and a whore,” Daniels said. “… but I’m not a criminal, and I’ve never been a hypocrite.”

Daniels will be in Baton Rouge in early May to dance at the Gold Club and possibly film a movie in New Orleans. She said she is open to touring the state to hear what people have to say.

Vitter’s spokesperson did not respond to two requests for comment.

Daniels is a 1997 graduate of Scotlandville Magnet High School.

Hmmm....a Senate race between a porn star and a whore-mongering diaper-fetishist? Well we've already had a statewide race between a Klansman and an avowed criminal, so this certainly seems to be the logical step, no?
