Whoa!

Mike Pompeo's campaign forwarded a bigoted comment about opponent Raj Goyle to campaign supporters. Pompeo has apologize and said it was an accident - they meant to forward an article about the midwest political scene. I'm sure it was not intentional, at least by Pompeo himself. Don't really know him, but met him a few times and can't believe he would stoop that low.

It does make you wonder what his staff was doing with this comment. Staffers are often more ideological and hard core than their bosses. Which can lead to these kind of gaffes.


Unfortunately it's given the nutbag who made the comment, who is from Wichita, publicity and injected race and religion into the race. Will Pompeo make an issue out of Goyle's lack of religious affiliation and being raised in the Hindu tradition growing up?

Doubt it. He will most likely just try to paint Goyle as a liberal, Obama-like person who wants government to run every aspect of our lives.

And Goyle will paint Pompeo as a return to Bush era that got us into the recession and someone who would jack around with social security and medicare, etc ....
