This might have been good in January; today, not so much.

Back in the primary season, I'd hoped the "Skeletons in my Closet" section of my campaign website would attract a few media types, who would then call attention to the issues I'm running on.

Unfortunately, the Beaumont Enterprise waited until today- two days before election- to run a piece SOLELY on my skeletons, with no issues in sight.

They couldn't have done a better hack job on me if John Otto had paid 'em to do it.

Well, it's too early to say if the Skeletons admissions are a failure, but they certainly failed to prevent the "October Surprise" journalism the Enterprise has used.

Now I just have to hope nobody reads the Enterprise at my grandmother's church until my aunt goes home. Grr.

Edit: The story has a place to enter comments. PLEASE DON'T JUMP IN THERE TO MY DEFENSE, unless you actually live in my district. That's the one thing which would make me look worse there right now.
