david_vitter_official_portraitIt looks like Louisiana Senator David Vitter has a Republican opponent in his Senate primary next year: an anonymous porn star.

Vitter, who was caught up in a Washington, D.C., prostitution sting, has been considered vulnerable and targeted by the Democrats.

Last November, someone placed an ad on Craigslist seeking a registered Republican who worked in the adult entertainment industry. The ad has since been traced back to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Now a second ad has been placed on Craigslist stating: “WE HAVE FOUND OUR PORN STAR, AND SHE NEEDS A STAFF.”

“Seeking Energetic Field Organizers for Senate Campaign (New Orleans)
After an exhaustive review process, we are announcing that we are no longer accepting applications for a female candidate with a history in the adult entertainment industry to challenge Senator Vitter. We want to thank all the talented candidates who applied and endured through our rigorous application process. We furthermore apologize for any inconveniences the applications or interviews may have caused. We are certain many of you will go on to achieve long and accomplished careers in public service, and wish you well in your future endeavors.”

After a press conference in 2007, where Vitter apologized for his mistakes, he has refused to discuss the prostitution scandal. Democrats are hoping that their mystery candidate will provide a continuing embarrassment for Vitter during the campaign.
