GOP Candidate Appears in Saucy Devil Costume on Newscast

The devil is in the details, as the old saying goes.

GOP candidate for State School Superintendent Sandy Welch has adopted a creative new strategy to come across as more friendly, hip, and fun.

A new photo depicts the candidate in a what looks like a saucy devil costume, complete with horns and a lacy top. The photo first appeared on the candidates Facebook page (left) and has since made an appearance in the television coverage of a recent education debate.

Here’s the video:

Until now, the Welch campaign has faced an uphill battle in many respects. First, the candidate is relatively unknown, having never held elective office. Second, Welch has come across as a little bit angry and negative in the past after dumping on Montana public school classrooms because she thought it would help her politically.

Those days are over. Image, as they say, is everything.

At this time, it is not clear with the saucy devil is a is a permanent addition to the campaign image or a special Halloween themed release. Kudos to Welch are in order for her creativity and willingness to think outside the box.

I can’t believe she’s distributing a costumed photo to news outlets. Just when you think you’ve heard everything. Are you sure the station didn’t use the pic by accident? That the editors just didnt look closely enough?

  Obviously, this was the only photo that could be found or it wouldn’t have been used.

    KFBB didn’t look very hard if this is the only photo they could find.

No WONDER that Jesus was Bush’s favorite philosopher. Jesus hated Mooselims too! I never realized that!

  Look just because you don’t like this guy doesn’t mean you should be allowed to go around posting his name on blogs in an attempt to manipulate google results.
