There’s a whore-monger running for Senate in Louisiana.
This candidate has disgraced our state by taking part in sexually perverse activity, eliciting negative scrutiny and directing more detrimental publicity to our state.

BATON ROUGE, La – The next U.S. Senate race isn’t until 2010, but already names are surfacing as to who will challenge Republican David Vitter in his re-election bid.
One name that is creating a lot of buzz is adult film actress and Baton Rouge native Stormy Daniels. According to an unscientific online poll by the Baton Rouge Business Report, Daniels comes in second to Vitter with 31 percent of the vote. Vitter had 40 percent. Twenty-nine percent of the 2,200 people who took the survey said they would vote for Shaw Group CEO Jim Bernhard, a democrat.

WASHINGTON — Sen. David Vitter, R-La., whose phone calls to a prostitution ring were exposed by an investigator for Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, now faces a potential Senate challenge from adult film star Stormy Daniels, who has asked Flynt to run her campaign.
In a telephone interview Thursday from Tampa, Fla., Daniels said that while Flynt had nothing to do with the “Draft Stormy” boomlet that has drawn her into contemplating the 2010 Louisiana Senate race, “I have reached out to him in the last couple of days that I want to discuss if he wants to be my campaign manager.”

The well-publicized effort to draft porn star Stormy Daniels is competing for media attention with Vitter’s re-emergence as a leading conservative voice, following a sex scandal that largely silenced him for a year.
