Porn Candidate Offers Date to Big Donors

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters)
Porn actress Mary Carey, one of 135 candidates running for California governor, offered on Tuesday to go on a date with anyone offering her a hefty campaign contribution. But that is it, just a date.

"As an independent, I don't have a large political party backing me," she said in a statement. "So I have to be creative and develop more unconventional methods of raising money."

If she won't sell herself for a vote, what kind of a politician is she going to make?

In her old job, at least her "backing" was on camera.
