Quayle surprises even himself
Hulburd is already out of the gate calling the election a choice “between Jon Hulburd and Brock Landers.”

“It’s between a young man who fabricated a family, degraded women, and then tried to lie about it, and a small businessman and father of five who has been dedicated to his community,” Hulburd communications director Josh Abner said.

The Quayle campaign called Hulburd desperate. “It’s always great to see desperation set in around your opponent on the first day of the campaign. Hulburd apparently thinks there's a crying demand in Washington for another liberal blowhard who talks out of both sides of his mouth and sells out the taxpayers to the special interest tax cartel,” Quayle communications director Jay Heiler said in a statement.

But some local Republicans are afraid Democrats will dig up more dirt about Quayle — and will be more than happy to spread the information far and wide.

1. Does Anyone Else Find Ben Quayle To Be Creepy?
Aside from being a Quayle? There's just something about him.

3. It shouldn't take much digging. The name Quayle is a goldmine, right near the surface..
Adios, Ben.

6. I don't hink 'adios' is the right word
Given the district, we are probably in for years and years of embarrassing stupidities from Congressman Quayle. This story is going to have to be written very slowly, because the people in that district don't read very fast.

4. Tax Cartel ?
Who or what is the tax cartel ? First I've heard of this.
Are they anything like the fee mongers ?

5. Ben Quayle is the most blatant spoiled brat young Republican since George W. Bush
I truly hope the voters of his district are intelligent enough to give him the thumbs-down.

8. This is my home district (barf). But today's paper says Quayle's win gives Dems a chance
to win this very safe Republican seat!

All the teabagger wins are really helping us, so THANK YOU LOSERS.
