Porn for public office!
 

Lilith started this on one tack, I'll take the other...

Larry Flynt has declared his interest for CA Governor, and according to a photo in the Chicago Tribune, so has porn actress Mary Carey (who's 22 - and according to one site was last a resident of FL! - can any of you Californians confirm what requirements are?).

Statement from her website:

</edit>

What porn/adult industry person would you support for a run for office (I already know Lilith's answer - Rocco :p )?

And if your area has a requirement (IL for example requires the governor to be 25, and you must have lived in the state for three years) who would be a surprise candidate (as in "I didn't realize he/she lived HERE?!?")?

As far as myself, I really don't know who all is an 'active' adult entertainer anymore, and I certainly don't know who I'd support....
There's only two people I can think of - Hef started his business in Chicago, but I think he's too apolitical to try to run for office. I understand why Flynt is doing it, he's always been a huge advocate of the first amendment (not just nudity/porn, but he had that satire case with Jerry Falwell in the 80s and won) - I just don't see Hef or whatshisname that runs Penthouse doing the same.
The other person who used to be connected to the Chicago area and who's gone naked is Jenny McCarthy - so that would be something of a surprise, as she's been trying to re-start her career in LA last I heard ;)

And, considering that three year rule, there are LOTS of people that would surprise me if they popped up in a run for IL office - they'd have to be residents here three years before making a move!

There is a big difference, under the recall rules of California you only need a small amount of signatures and I think $3500 to be on the ballot. So that is why there are going to be prolly 100 people on it.

In Illinois it is actually hard to get on a state-wide ballot. You need lots of sigs and most times they are contested by the leaders of the opposition (I have been through 2 contested signature fights for governor offices). IL politics is very very controlled by the two parties inside members, it is rare for someone to come in from the outside unless they have tons of money.

And Illinois does NOT have a procedure for recalling any elected officials. Something that gets brought up on a regular basis for a constitutional amendment.

You avoided the questions though. :P

You are right, I did...I would say any that could squirt the furthest...better than what we have in IL anyhow. :D

That would certainly be an interesting (and slippery!) party platform. Better not leave out the female squirters ;)

Anybody else?

Setting aside the humor of it all.... (which is rare for me)... I am totally disgusted with what is going on in California. Crawling out of the woodwork for 15 minutes of fame..... (sic).

Of course, I haven't followed
specifically what has been going on in the Gov's office there, but it does lend for questions about our overall system that we seem to feel is the best.

Hanging chads... and now this????????

GARY COLEMAN RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What you talking about skippy?

:p

Gary has declared, Aqua.
Hell, I might if I were living there. :P

Not a porn star...although I think some stars might get started on his show...

Jerry Springer toyed with running for state senate in OH. That would have been a funny race.

In California, according to iWon.com:
Candidates have until 5 p.m. on Saturday to submit the $3,500 and 65 signatures needed to qualify for the ballot. As of mid Friday, more than 570 people had expressed interest in running for governor but only 14 had completed the paperwork.

And Maria Shriver has taken a leave of absence from NBC.

osuche, I was hoping Jerry would run too - probably the funniest thing he did since two Chicago reporters quit the NBC affiliate over him (Springer) being named a guest opinion presenter.

Sanity will prevail in the end.Let 'em al run,The low live who started this mess Daryl Issa,bowed out of the race when Ahrrnoult declaired he was running.So is Richard Rearend,Arianna Huffington,Maybe Dianne Feinstein,Green Party member Pete Cornejo (sp) The rest is just a parade of California's finest Kooks.Gotta love e'm.

Can we get back to the original questions I posted please? ;P

God you people get off track so easily...
:p
:p
(no I'm not exempting myself from that statement either)

To reiterate:

What porn/adult industry person would you support for a run for office?

And if your area has a residency requirement who would be a surprise candidate (as in "I didn't realize he/she lived HERE?!?")?

OK,OK,Getting back to the original question, Not really in the Porn Business,but a Sex Therapist with her own show on public access a radio show and a Art gallery in Down Town Los Angeles,My choice for Governor of this lovely State of CA.would be Dr.Susan Block.
