Ben Quayle is running for the Republican nomination in Arizona's 3rd Congressional District(northern suburbs of Phoenix). He is the carrier of the great Quayle political name as he is the son of the buffoonish former Vice President Dan Quayle. Here we see him doing his best to keep the family legacy going. His opener is chosen carefully "Barack Obama is the worst President in history". It's a bold statement, one no doubt made after careful debate and consideration. One might think it is to early to tell, but remember who his audience is-Arizona Republicans. They likely agree with the statement for reasons possibly having to do with the President's lack of white skin. Quayle comes off as a rich kid in this, making an attempt to act tough that makes the viewer feel uneasy for him, "somebody has to go to Washington and knock the hell out of the place". Sorry, if I'm this hell in Washington, I'm just not scared of this guy. Maybe the extent of his physical prowess is to simply door knock repeatedly. Lastly he uses the word hell. Mormons make up 6% of the state which likely means a higher percentage among Republicans, so the use of hell is perhaps a bit risky here.
