Porn Star Considering Run for Senate in Louisiana Against David Vitter

It isn't unusual for a incumbent Senator's action while in office to bring about challenges come election time. 

However, in Sen. David Vitter's circumstance, it is a little unusual. See a couple years ago Vitter's name came up in the DC Madam prostitution investigation.

Vitter, a conservative member of the GOP, was linked to the DC Madam when his name and number were found in her phone records. The woman later allegedly committed suicide and it's rumored that the scandal may have led to CIA Director Porter Goss's resignation.

Vitter also allegedly visited a New Orleans brothel several times beginning in the mid-1990s, paying $300 per hour for services at the bordello after he met the madam at a fishing rodeo that included prostitutes and other politicians, according to Jeanette Maier, the "Canal Street Madam" whose operation was shut down by a federal investigators in 2001.

That has prompted adult film star Stormy Daniels to consider running against Vitter in his 2010 reelection campaign. Daniels, who has not decided which party to run as, is holding listening tours around the state and appeared on CNN this past week.
