Ileana Hernandez is seeking the office of county commissioner in Pike County, Pennsylvania.

Someone splattered a campaign sign with paint. Someone also dumped dirty diapers in front of her campaign office..

Her response?

Hernandez, a Democrat who is the first Latino woman to run for the office, said the vandalism "could be both racist and sexist — it's Pike County."

Her opponents have criticized the both acts of vandalism. But I can’t help but think that labeling the people you hope to represent as a bunch of racists and sexists is not the best pat to high political office – especially when your victories in previous elections in the county has proven that neither race nor sex has been an obstacle to your political success.
