Kristin Davis, the Manhattan madame and now-failed New York gubernatorial candidate whose platform included gay marriage and legalizing prostitution, received 22,775 votes in Tuesday’s election. She came in sixth of seventh, and though the Observer mentions she spent the night at a bar watching the returns, something tells me she didn’t get on the phone with Andrew Cuomo for a concession speech. “I haven’t made any concrete plans,” says Davis of her future, “but I do know that a lot of New Yorkers have come up to me on the campaign trail and a lot of gay and lesbian community have said ‘will you please keep fighting for me if I give you my vote’ and I don’t plan on letting those people down.”

Usually its the politicians who whore themselves out, promising good things for the Gays………….
Why do I think an actual prostitute would actually deliver more?????

You can say the fuck you want about her but I think she’s being honest, what does she has to lose anyway?

I can’t help but feel some admiration for her. In some strange way, I almost wish I lived in New York so I could have voted for her, even if only symbolically.

Andrew Cumo talks a good game on Gay Marriage— but where was he when the Gay Marriage bill was up for a vote— MIA !
Kristin Davis was the only honest candidate running– I’m proud I voted for her.
KRISTIN in 2014 !
