Former adult film star Jenna Jameson endorsed Mitt Romney for president. San Francisco's KCBS has her comments about the presumptive Republican nominee.

At an anniversary celebration for a California strip club, Jameson told a CBS staffer she was “very looking forward” to having a Republican president again. Jameson added, “When you're rich, you want a Republican in office.”


A $30 million net worth certainly qualifies Jameson as “rich”. But as the blog SheKnows notes, while Jameson might trumpet her support for Mr. Romney, this is one endorsement the Republican Party is likely to play down.

“Someone should really tell Jenna that a few weeks ago Romney's camp was vowing to "crack down" on the porn industry -- her source of such vast wealth.”

Voting Republican is also a significant political shift for the adult film star – Jameson is a vocal supporter of PETA, and in 2008 backed Hillary Clinton for President. A blogger for PoliticalCarnival thinks Jameson’s support might be a ruse.

“I’m half thinking that she’s doing/saying this to show how stupid and selfish the idea is. She’s got a background of being pretty liberal.”

The Raw Story reports, Jameson isn’t the only porn star making her support for a candidate public this election cycle.

“Former adult film star Ron Jeremy … also recently praised Romney , even though he will be voting for President Barack Obama. ‘I think he means well, I think he’s a good man,” Jeremy said.”
