SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - No sex please -- this is politics.
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,
Carey said she would offer a dinner date to anyone giving more than $5,000 to her campaign that seeks to replace Gov. Gray Davis (news - web sites) if he is recalled by voters on Oct. 7.
"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."
Asked if the date could lead to a sexual encounter, campaign aide Jayson Helgeson replied: "I don't think so, that's not part of it. It's like a normal date."
Pressed to clarify what a normal date means for a woman who has appeared in both explicit lesbian and heterosexual scenes, he put the phone on hold to clarify and then responded: "No sex, no matter what."
