Campaign Misttake
Oops, did I accidentally misspell "mistake"? I guess there's a "t" where it didn't belong. Glad I only did it in this limited forum, unlike Texas House District 97 candidate Bob Leonard, who's latest mailer has an extra "t" in a piece on education. (Leonard's in a seven-way race in a special election for retired State Rep. Anna Mowery's seat. Six of the seven candidates are Republicans.)
The newest postcard in the blizzard of District 97 mailers brags about the Leonards' commitment to public schools.But look closer.
The computer-generated artwork spells it committment.
For Leonard, 57, a lawyer and grandson of the retailer namesake of Leonard Middle School, it was a lesson learned.
"Oh, my gosh," he said with a sheepish laugh. "I saw that on the artwork, but they didn't fix it. On the graphics stuff, you can't run spellcheck."
Well that's unfortunit.
