I know him personally! Don't like him either and thought he was very arrogant for someone so young. First met him about six months ago as he comes from San Diego. You remember a person who wants you to pay for his drink when all you are doing is buying soft drinks. Then he records the other candidate's talk to our group right out in the open. Pure arrogance and I complained to the Istook office and told them I never wanted him around again and suggested they send him back to San Diego.

But there he was at a fundraiser we had in July.

Sitting here shaking my head as the Istook campaign was already on life support which has made no sense. Poorly run campaign -- in fact, it may be the worst run campaign I have ever seen.

"He has been described as power hungry and craving influence."

That describes him, and he will anything for influence.

I cannot believe he is only 21. I knew he was young but the way he acts, I would have said late 20's. He knows his way around and is no kid!

He is another arrogant person. Cannot figure out how they were hired, but neither can anyone else I know.

Ernest Istook is running for Oklahoma Governor and is currently a Congressman. His campaign has not been able to get off the ground and is behind by a large number of points.

That is why it made no sense to hire someone from CA for his Oklahoma campaign. Still doesn't.

Not a chance! This kid is not naive and was bragging about the IM's according to reports.

Istook is Congressman Istook from OK who is running for OK Gov. This kid was a jerk and I believe completely capable of doing this on purpose. There is more to this then meets the eye.

It was his IM account.

If you knew this jerk, you wouldn't have a doubt he was capable of doing something like this. This is no naive kid but a well seasoned person.

Explains why I couldn't figure out why this kid was working for Istook. He is no conservative and had my doubts about him all the way around along with the campaign manager and so do a lot of people. Worst run campaign and looks like Istook was being tanked and used to get at Hastert.

Fabulous job! Thanks.

Thanks! I am still stunned that I clicked on a thread and know the former page. Our County Chair posted on OK GOP Chat that Hastert should resign. He is also a former Istook campaign manager. Wonder if he has changed his mind?
