What now, Stormy?

The political spokesman for the native Baton Rouge porn star Stormy Daniels says she will announce soon whether she's really going to enter the 2010 U.S. Senate race against incumbent David Vitter.

Daniels continues to promote adult entertainment ventures and personal appearances online. As of today, though, the Web site set up to promote and raise money for a possible candidacy, teamstormy.com, had not been updated since July. Daniels didn't respond to a request for an interview from the Associated Press. Brian Welsh, the Democratic operative listed as an officer in the exploratory committee set up for her last year, said in an e-mail query that there will be an official statement about her plans "very soon."

Daniels' campaign suffered a setback in late July, when she was arrested in Tampa, Fla., for battering her husband. Those charges were later dropped.*
