Running an "Adult" Campaign

Remember in high school when one enterprising student council candidate would put up a sign that read something like "SEX - Now that I've got your attention . . ."? Well, one would have thought that professional politicians would outgrow such things. Maybe not:

Hialeah City Council incumbent Jose 'Pepe' Caragol, 76, used the slogan 'If you like oral sex, vote Caragol for council' as part of his campaign for re-election, The Miami Herald said Saturday.

The slogan, which Caragol has uttered in Spanish during several TV and radio appearances, was quickly criticized by his campaign opponent.
Of course it was. Which begs the question - is Caragol's opponent anti-oral sex? I can't imagine that's a very popular position in Hialeah.
