GOP gubernatorial challenger Rex Rammell, who’s campaigned for office in the past by driving a giant, decorated RV around the state that doubles as a rolling campaign billboard, plans to unveil a new gimmick tomorrow: A giant model of a 16-foot tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur, “which will be pulled behind the Rammell for Governor RV throughout Idaho,” the Rammell campaign said in an announcement. The large model will “be used to communicate his states’ rights message about stopping the federal government from usurping state authority,” according to an announcement of tomorrow’s press conference/dinosaur unveiling.
It added, “Pulling a 16-foot green Tyrannosaurus Rex will surely be criticized by the Otter camp and others, but the Rammell campaign thinks the move will draw attention to Dr. Rammell’s serious states’ rights message.”

Where in the world does he get the money for this stuff?

A giant dinosaur is a fitting symbol of the Republican party.
I hope all the candidates adopt it.

No Rex, not criticized. Pitied and/or ridiculed is more likely.

Maybe the Dinosaur will take the meds that Rex should be taking?

Can we say he’s officially jumped the …T-Rex?

By the comments above it looks like the T-Rex is doing exactly what a gimmick is intended to do… get people talking!

It’s Idaho….lowest common denominator prevails.
Although, I have it on good authority Rammell has been signed by a clinical trial testing outfit, who’s now secretly funding his campaign. They’re working on a new medication designed to alieviate feelings of alienation, and the outrage of righteous indignation. Once approved, it will be really big in Mormonia.
