Turning Tricks: Republicans Better for Business?

•  
• by: Colorado Pols

Are Democrats or Republicans better for the “escort” and nude entertainment business? We’d never really pondered that question before…until now. As the Rocky Mountain News reports:

Political tricks may not be the only ones turned during the Democratic National Convention in Denver this August.

The sex and adult entertainment industries are expecting a boom in business when an estimated 35,000 visitors descend on the Mile High City for the presidential nominating bash.

At the Pepsi Center, the focus will be on a single nominee.

But outside the event, the choices available to the delegates, journalists and others are unlimited, giving new meaning to the term “conventional sex.”…

…Too bad for Watson and others like him that Denver didn’t land the GOP convention instead, said Carol Leigh, a San Francisco prostitute “over 50” who has traveled to previous Democratic conventions in Los Angeles and Atlanta.

“It would be a lot better for the sex workers if it was the Republican convention,” she said.

“We get a lot more business. I don’t know if they’re just frustrated because of the family values agenda,” she said.

Naturally, we had to do a poll. Click below to vote, and keep it clean with the comments.
