US porn star considering Senate run

SYDNEY - A US porn star has revealed that she might run as a Republican Senate candidate because the party best represents her ‘views about sex and money’.

Stormy Daniels, who has won scores of awards for her adult movies, claims she has been a “life-long Democrat” but a recent sex-themed party paid for by the Republican Party changed her allegiances.

Her statement followed news headlines that the Republican National Committee spent 1946 dollars last month at a sex-themed Hollywood club that features topless dancers and bondage outfits.

“After months of careful deliberation and [consultation] as to the true nature of my political affiliation I am ready today to declare that should I seek the office of US Senator from the great state of Louisiana that I will do so as a Republican,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted her as saying in a statement.

“While this decision has not been an easy one, recent events regarding Republican National Committee fund-raising at Voyeur, an LA based lesbian bondage themed nightclub finally tipped the scales,” she stated.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said 1900 dollars would have paid for a good night.

“As someone who has worked extensively in both the club and film side of the Adult Entertainment Industry, I know from experience that a mere 1900 dollars outlay at a club with the reputation of Voyeur is a clear indication of a frugal investment with a keen eye toward maximum return,” she added.

Daniels, whose political spokesman has a history of working for Democrats, is to announce on April 15 whether she will run against current Republican Senator David Vitter. (ANI)
