Nude Photos Upset N.J. Dem. Officials

NEWTON, N.J. (AP) - County Democratic officials want a state Senate candidate to quit the race over a nude photo contest he entered, but Jim Morrison says he's in to stay.

"If people want to know about it, they should know I won the contest," the 32-year-old attorney said.

Sussex County Democratic Party Chairman Charles Cart said Morrison does not reflect northwestern New Jersey's conservative values, and the party already has a hard enough time competing in an area where Republicans outnumber
Democrats 3-to-1.

"It's not like you do it when you're an adolescent and you feel like you did something wrong. It's like, 'Hey, I won that contest and it's cool,'" Cart said.

Morrison, a partner in his parents' law firm, has gotten national attention in the past. He was a runner-up on ABC-TV's reality show "The Mole" in early 2001. That same year, Morrison was named one of People magazine's "50 Most Eligible Bachelors."

He posed for nude pictures while he was a law school student, and in 1996 twice entered a photo contest in New York City that featured nudity.

He called the photo contest about "as bad as a wet T-shirt contest."

"I don't shy away or back away from who I am, because I think that's the kind of person voters want," Morrison said.

I think all politicians should have to campaign in the nude ... just to prove they have nothing to hide. :)

Plus, for the ladies ... it'd give you a good chance to check out the male candidates poles ... er ... polls?

It might even make politics fun once again. :D

You know.. he made a good point. He won the contest! Doesn't it make sense to back a weiner.... umm.. winner?

hey i just want to see these alleged photos....oh he did admit to it so....where are they?
