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.
I for one am NOT going to bash you for making these points. Somebody needs to cut through the pea soup of rhetoric here.
It's ominous that Istook's campaign is doing badly, with these current revelations.
