If it seems odd for a porn star who supports the rights of exotic dancers and prostitutes to run as a Republican, Damayo insists that she supports the party, citing its history going back to Abraham Lincoln and the freeing of the slaves, as well as the Republican regard for individual rights. "I've been embraced greatly by the Clark County Republican Party," she says. "She is a legally viable candidate," says Clark County Republican Party chairman John Hambrick. "I think she's a very shrewd and competent businesswoman." Before her candidacy, Damayo volunteered heavily in the 2004 campaign; she's also treasurer of the local Asian Republican Party. "I'm not the typical ideological Republican," she adds.

She's got my vote! I suppose I have to be a resident of Nevada first, though. :(

"Great campaign photo. Guaranteed to raise voter interest."

Yup, opponents may have a hard time with her.

If she was running as a Democrat would slick Willie help her with fund raising?

Well, at least she comes from a comparable profession.

Yes, she obviously has a lot of relevant experience.

Dang, can someone convince her to establish residency in Kaleefornia and run here?

I though we already had a porn star run for Governor here.

She's cute, but those fake breasts are about 2x too big. She actually seems to be something of a Libertarian (no surprise there), so I would take her over a Democrat, and I mean, as Governor.. yeah..

Oh man, if she were a Democrat, Willie wouldn't need a lap dance because he would be joined at the hip with her.

>>If she gets elected, it would be a lateral career move.<<

I think the word you are looking for may be "horizontal" :)

those couple lines make her one of the best candidates i've seen in a while.

Those two spheres are pursuasive, too. :)

She'll make a great politician and fit right in. There are hugh similarities in these professions.

Melody might favor Hummers too, like Arnold.

I love the "1st Man Search Apply Online Free" link on that site. However, we all know he won't actually be the 1st man.

She should be the national spokeswoman for grapefruits. I wonder how long it will be before she is interviewed by O'Reilly?
