Keith van Horn, writing to the editor earlier this week, responds to a great quote from my one-time opponent, Sal Esquivel. Esquivel was quoted July 10 in regards to a piece of legislation that mutated considerably as it moved from one chamber to the other. It is a classic case of failing to manage message, Sal - my campaign staff would have stern words for you - can't let it happen again.

Van Horn latches on to the key language, offering us, "Finally a politician who admits that he was "dumb and stupid.""
