Ben Quayle inches ahead in GOP primary for 3rd Congressional District
Written on August 26, 2010
Blunt opposition to Barack Obama may mean more to Republican primary voters in Arizona than writing for a tawdry website about the Scottsdale club scene.
That's because as of late Tuesday night, Ben Quayle leads the 3rd Congressional District GOP primary. With 93 percent of the vote in, Quayle has just under 23 percent of the vote. That's a few percentage points ahead of businessman Steve Moak (18 percent) and former state senator Jim Waring (17.5 percent). Vernon Parker had 17 percent of the vote.
The crowded primary field could help Quayle hold on to his edge personal loans for bad credit.
Quayle is the son of former vice president Dan Quayle. He's been hit during the campaign for his wealthy background and involvement with the Dirty Scottsdale website. Ben Quayle also made national news for running an ad which he said Obama was the worst president in history.
The primary is for retiring John Shadegg's Phoenix congressional seat.
