Ben Quayle’s Checklist
As many of you know, when it comes to the race for Congress in Arizona District 3 — I am in the tank for Pamela Gorman. Last Thursday was Pamela Gorman Day on FTR Radio — and it was a huge success. Unlike Katie Couric, I like to let you know up front that I’m biased.
She is running against nine other candidates. The most well known of her opponents is Ben Quayle.(son of former V.P. Dan Quayle)
Quayle just recently moved to Arizona. Fortunately, he picked a house in a congressional district that has an open seat. What are the odds?
There has been some play about a Quayle mail piece that had a photo of him with 2 kids in his lap. The impression was left to the casual reader that they are Quayle’s kids, they are not.
From RedState:
Quayle sent out a mail piece of him holding one young child with another in a seat. The caption under it reads, in part, “Tiffany and I live in this district and we are going to raise our family here.”
To be fair, the mail piece does not claim that the kids are Ben’s. But I’m sure that if it were to leave the impression on Arizona voters that the kids are his and that Quayle is a strong family man, his campaign staff would be okay with that.
So to sum up — Ben Quayle just moved to Arizona, got married, adopted a dog and is now running for Congress. Any more politician clichés available?
Get this man some babies to kiss and pass the apple pie! Stat!!!
