Politico is reporting that an interesting pair might be running against Louisiana Senator David Vitter in the 2010 senate race.

Pornstar Stormy Daniels and Family Research Council Chief Tony Perkins are reportedly both interested in the senate seat.

Daniels doesn’t have political experience; her body of work is a little more, um, risque (even for Louisiana). That hasn’t stopped some from urging Daniels to run. C-Span might become a much more popular late night channel should she pull it off.


The top issue on Stormy’s Web site? “It’s the economy, sexy.”

Hard to imagine that coming from Perkins, who was a Louisiana legislator before he joined the Family Research Council. He ran against Vitter in the 2002 senate primary.

This time around, Vitter faces some possible fall out from the 2007 D.C. Madam prostitution scandal. The senator was implicated when his name was found in the DC Madame’s phone records; he later apologized for his “very serious sin.”

When asked about Vitter’s chances for reelection in light of the scandal, Perkins acknowledged that it’s a problem for Vitter but that “there’s room to make a mistake and come back.”
