Former porn star Stormy Daniels announced she’s formed an exploratory committee for a potential run against Republican Senator David Vitter.

Daniels most likely never considered a political career, but fans online began championing her late last year, and Daniels was persuaded to go on a listening tour across her state. Things must have gone well, because she announced yesterday that she’s serious about public service. Her statement, via Huffington Post:

Today, I am excited to announce that I am taking the next step in exploring a possible run for United States Senate. Two weeks ago, I embarked on a listening tour where I had the pleasure of hearing the thoughts and concerns of my fellow Louisianans. These conversations were highly encouraging and convinced me to officially explore the possibility of running for the United States Senate. To this end, I have formed an exploratory committee to gauge Louisianians support for my potential candidacy.

I do not take this step lightly. While I have been humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response my potential candidacy has generated thus far, my decision to run for United States Senate will only be made after I have had the opportunity to discuss this prospect with as many people across the state as possible. Too many in government ignore the voices of those whom they claim to represent. I promise you that I will not.

A match-up between Daniels and Vitter would be interesting, particularly because Vitter admitted two years ago to employing prostitutes, a confession that tarnished his "family values" image. Will voters be more inclined to hire an adult video star? Hey, stranger things have happened.
