SEX AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY – AT 4:18 P.M. ET:  What is it about the Democrats and hormones?

There was Bill Clinton and his Monica.  There was John Edwards and his, whatever her name is.  There was Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer and his paid-for harem.  And we have the newly nominated Dem lieutenant governor candidate in Illinois and his former girl friend/hooker, who claims he held a knife to her throat.

And now, newly unveiled, with skillful backing, is the latest candidate for governor of New York, Kristin Davis:

The race for governor just got a whole lot sexier.

"Manhattan Madam" Kristin Davis is tossing her lacy brassiere into the political ring - with the help of one of the GOP's most fearsome strategists.

Though he's often labeled a "trickster," former Nixon, Reagan and Bushes operative Roger Stone tells us he's dead serious about getting Davis on the ballot.

"This is not a hoax, a prank or a publicity stunt," said Stone, who has been quietly huddling with Davis for months. "I want to get her a half-million votes."

Davis has spoken in the past about running against former Gov. (and alleged former client) Eliot Spitzer - to draw attention to the fact that she served nearly four months on Rikers Island while Client 9 escaped indictment.

Client 9 was Spitzer, while he was governor.

Kristin Davis won't be elected.  On the other hand, she may end up as the most honest candidate running.  A woman with nothing to hide.
