Story:

Remember US Senate candidate Mike Bouchard’s kitschy, but endearing commercial featuring his 16 year old daughter, Mikayla? The spot depicted the Oakland County sheriff sitting on the couch between Mikayla and a potential boyfriend, posing as the overprotective dad as part of his pitch on national security. At the Kent County Republican unity reception after his election win, Bouchard continued the theme. After an introduction from Mikayla, he said, “If there are any boys in the audience, forget it.” But Bouchard assured the crowd, “No boyfriends were hurt in the making of the commercial.”
