Porn star Mary Carey is running for governor of California. She has only collected 40 of the 164,000 signatures required to get her name on the ballot, but she says she'll run as a write-in candidate if the signature gathering fails.

Amongst other things, Carey's platform pledges to "Increase money in California", "Increase plastic surgery tax so that you can lower gas prices", and make strip clubs full nude with full alcohol.
