Vacuum Cleaner Huckster

Ouch! The Claremore Progress newspaper doesn't mince words when evaluating candidate Gary Richardson:

Independent Gary Richardson is straight out of the good ol’ boys club, exhibiting the salesmanship of a vacuum cleaner huckster. If he weren’t such a successful lawyer, he would probably be a tent revival preacher performing miracles and leading repentant sinners away from perdition.

When the election is over, Richardson will return to his lucrative law practice in Tulsa and will continue to pay tolls when driving the Turner Turnpike to Oklahoma City.

They go on to endorse Steve Largent.
