Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets. And you know you did. As of the count at 7:15 AM this morning (PT) in the California gubernatorial porno runoff, Larry Flynt was outpacing Mary Carey – Flynt with 14,968 votes to Carey’s 9,675.
In Carey’s concession speech, she said, “Arnold, if you ever need advice on the state of California or want to grope another girl, call me.” Flynt made no such offers.

During the evening, Carey hosted a barbecue and Flynt spent the night talking to reporters.

“I expected to have fun,” bubbled candidate and porno star Carey, who had a barbecue party Tuesday night at the Game Show Network studio in Culver City. “I love cameras and am getting in front of them without getting naked and having sex.”

Now it’s back to business as usual: “Next I’m promoting feature dancing at strip clubs,” she said. But someday, she added, “I’m definitely going to run for president.”

The two X-rated candidates, Carey, star of “New Wave Hookers 7,” and Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, were opposed to the recall even though their names were on the ballot.

“As much as I dislike Gray Davis, I think he’s been an efficient governor. To vote yes on the recall, you’re really changing democracy,” Flynt said. “That’s what the normal election is for.

“I didn’t think I was going to get elected,” Flynt added.
