If you’re a candidate running for office and looking for an interesting campaign gimmick, the “barf bag” handout is always a solid option.

A Republican candidate for Congress [Marty Lamb] is hoping an unusual campaign gimmick can help him “sack” his opponent in November.

“This is a barf bag. They’re not to be used in real life, but it’s to get the message out,” Lamb said.

The message: If Congress is making you sick, then vote in somebody new like the Holliston real estate lawyer, who is running against Democratic incumbent Jim McGovern.

Stay tuned next month when Marty unveils the Congressional toilet seat cover with the tag-line, “in times when you have to cover your own ass.”
