In what may be a sign of the times, the Politico and other sources are reporting that “Stormy” Daniels, the former porn star, is switching from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party and will possibly run for Louisiana’s Republican Senator David Vitter’s seat. She will decide on this no later than April 15.

Politico:

We can thank Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele for Daniels’s rightward turn. She was a registered Dem until the infamous Voyeur nightclub incident, she said.

“While this decision has not been an easy one, recent events regarding Republican National Committee fundraising at Voyeur, an L.A.-based lesbian bondage-themed nightclub, finally tipped the scales,” she said in a statement. “For me, this spirit can be summed up in the RNC’s investment of donor funds at Voyeur. As someone who has worked extensively in both the club and film side of the adult entertainment industry, I know from experience that a mere $1,900 outlay at a club with the reputation of Voyeur is a clear indication of a frugal investment with a keen eye toward maximum return.”

She added: “As is the case with so many of my fellow Louisianans, I have been a registered Democrat throughout my life. But now I cannot help but recognize that over time my libertarian values regarding both money and sex and the legal use of one for the other [are] now best espoused by the Republican Party.”

The Gun Toting Liberal says:

While I’m not so sure I can agree the “Party Of We Want To Regulate The Usage Of Sex Toys And Which Sexes Can Do What With Which Sexes In The Privacy Of One’s Own Bedroom” represents anything CLOSE to those “libertarian values” Ms. Daniels has cited, I would go as far as to agree a porn star, former, present or future is a better fit for the Republicans whose most recent “porn star darling -slash- centerfold” is Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts than the Democrats. Well, with the sole exception of the fact she seems to be at least comfortable enough in her own skin to refrain from attempting to “spin” and hide her own temptations arising from her apparent, “lively” libido, that is…

Sign of the times, or just a big publicity/spin ploy by Ms. Daniels, Democrats and their blogs/MSM? You decide.
