Las Vegas- We’ve been looking at the choices you’ll make for the 2006 election and one of the most dramatic races is shaping up to be the contest for governor. But one of the candidates – porn star Mimi Demayo [Miyagi] – says she’s being unfairly excluded from the major opinion polls.

Mimi delivered her first campaign speech Tuesday night. Some are dismissing her campaign as a giant publicity stunt, but the issues she’s talking about are deadly serious and simply because of her porn star history, she’s getting attention.

Republicans running for office in Nevada gathered for a little meet and greet session, but so far the only candidate who has been the subject of a lengthy interview on one of the major news networks is none other than Mimi Demayo.

The latest News 3 poll included only three of the five republicans running for governor, but Mimi says she’s every bit as serious at the frontrunners, and should not be dismissed so easily.

Mimi says education would be her top priority as leader of Nevada and she’s hoping her hard core history will help rather than hurt her chances of victory.

Mimi promises the campaign is just heating up and if she brings extra attention to the race, the other candidates don’t seem to mind.
