Really though, this is a pretty shrewd move. Scent is a powerful anchor for memories. Anyone with a sense of smell who looks at this is going to be hard-pressed forget the association.

I think he’s one of the “Tea Party” candidates, if I’m not mistaken. All politicians are garbage more or less. 😉
The idea is to elect the ones that are “less” garbage, and ignore the ones that are “more.” US citizens have a less-than-stellar record on that though.
Don’t remind me that I actually voted for George W. Bush once.
At least you cared enough to vote.
