Do you think it is unethical or just sleazy for Harrison to
Oct 28, 2020, 2:52 PM

run ads for Bledsoe who dropped out of the Senate race in an attempt to get people to vote for Him and take away votes from Graham?
I think it is a disgusting, but typical Schoomer/Pelosi liberal move the media wont call him out for.

Running an ad against someone on the ballot? No way it could be framed as illegal.

OP's message sounds like Harrison is running ads "for" Bledsoe. So what does that look like?
I think all political ads must have an identifying disclaimer at the end.

(in dramatic voice)
HE'S SUPPORTED PRESIDENT TRUMP ALL THE WAY
HE'S AGAINST ALL ABORTIONS
HE'S THINKS ALL GUN LAWS GO AGAINST THE 2ND AMENDMENT
HE'S TOO CONSERVATIVE FOR SOUTH CAROLINA!

I don't like the tactic, but it seems shrewd. So I rescind my previous statement
Graham needs to make ads that point out this tactic. That seems to be the easiest counter.

It's targeting a small number of voters who don't keep up as closely, maybe.

Prod says ads are FOR Harrison making claims AGAINST Bledsoe. And even though Bledsoe isn't running, I think this is strategy. A little dishonest, but shrewd.
Now if he is sending out fliers and making ads that are actually supporting Bledsoe, that is another story and should be illegal IMO.
So what's going on?

Oct 28, 2020, 3:39 PM
|

It's ostensibly saying negative things about him, but obviously designed to make conservatives go "sounds great to me!"
I can't claim to know for sure if it was an official Harrison ad or a PAC ad.
I don't know anything about fliers.

both sides are doing it.
Tons of out-of-state money coming into Georgia for Jon Ossoff.

but if you were an extremely conservative voter who does not like Lindsay Graham, you might be inspired to vote for the guy who is "too conservative for South Carolina."

They have been running Harrison ads for the last five months
Oct 28, 2020, 3:54 PM
[ in reply to I don't live in SC and don't know what the ads are... ] |

I live in S.C. and I had never seen a Bledsoe ad until this past Sunday.
I heard Graham complaining about Harrison having a much larger ad budget, and Graham has an ad with him begging people to send him money to fight Harrison.
Again, the first Bledsoe ad I saw three days ago, while the Harrison/Graham ads have been going on for months here in the midlands

I was about to jump on him for saying it should be illegal before even seeing what the ads were, but like I said he owned up to it and retracted his original opinion.

I don't know if I'd use as strong a word as "unethical"
Oct 28, 2020, 2:58 PM
|

Definitely wouldn't say "disgusting". I think I used the word "devious". I admit I thought it was hilarious. "HE BELIEVES ALL GUN LAWS GO AGAINST THE 2ND AMENDMENT!!"
He didn't run ads FOR Bledsoe, but AGAINST him, mind you. But they obviously have the intended effect of convincing conservatives to vote for him. It almost worked on me.

The Harrison ad features Bledsoe as "too conservative" and
Oct 28, 2020, 3:38 PM
|

Graham as "having changed." It's pretty shrewd of course in highlighting much about Bledsoe that many SC'ers would go gaga over and potentially bleed votes away from Graham, but it clearly states itself as a Vote for Jaime Harrison piece at the end.
If Graham can run against Chairman Mao, Hillary Clinton, Pelosi, and Schumer in his ads against Harrison (none of whom are actually on the SC ballot), seems pretty fair game for Harrison to highlight those actually on the ballot in his.

It's pretty slimy on Harrison's Part
Oct 28, 2020, 5:33 PM
|
|
He is running his own ads touting Bledsoe's conservative bonafides along with multiple PAC ads being run.Never mind that Bledsoe dropped out weeks ago and has endorsed Graham. These ads have only recently appeared.From a Jamie Harrison spokesman, "Jaime has two opponents on the ballot and we are making sure voters know the facts about each, and about Jaime, before they vote." Bledsoe's name remains on the ballot which is very true because it was too late to remove his name. It's not illegal and there is no honor amongst ######, but this is to me unethical. Graham should appear with Bledsoe in an ad together to call out this BS. Thanks Jaime, this move was enough to get one of my kids to decide to vote for Graham.
