Finally
Ben Quayle, son of Dan, is running for the 3rd congressional district in Arizona. Here's his mailer.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have any kids.

Two recent mailers sent by the Ben Quayle campaign contain some curious images and statements by the 33-year-old lawyer and flush-with-cash candidate in Arizona’s crowded 3rd Congressional District primary.

Quayle is depicted in playful scenes with two toddler-aged girls. Underneath one image, the text reads, in part: “Tiffany and I live in this district and we are going to raise our family here.”

It’s not a stretch to make the assumption that the cute tots - one sitting on his lap; the other sitting next to him - are his daughters. But that’s not the case. The recently married Quayle doesn’t have kids.

It’s not until you flip the mailer over to read that Quayle and his wife live in Phoenix with their dog, Louie. No mention of kids.

The second mailer, a pro-life piece that explains his staunch opposition to abortion and support of traditional marriage, contains the same image of the girls. But this time, there’s no disclaimer about Quayle not yet having kids of his own.

So is Quayle intentionally trying to leave voters with the impression that he’s a “family man”? It’s plausible.

He’s been a frequent target of many of his nine opponents - all of whom are older than him and have children - for what they call his thin resume and lack of life experience.

Maybe he forgot he doesn't have kids? The light bulb doesn't fall too far from the tree, after all (as LDQ might have said).
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

Bad decision. Anything that smacks of deceit right now, intentional or not, is going to get called out. That's a good thing.

The question is who made that bad decision, but I'm not sure the asnwer really matters. Either he approved it, which bespeaks poor judgement IMO, or he delegated to someone who made said poor judgement for him. Both possibilities reflect badly on him as any sort of leader.
