Sanford victory signals shift away from negative political ads
The runoff victory of Mark Sanford in the Republican governor nominating race is seen as a rebuke of negative attacks from Lt. Gov. Bob Peeler. Sanford focused on issues while Peeler's camp used attack ads, suggesting voters tire of negativity and favor Sanford's positive message. Sanford’s win 60 to 40 may influence the general election against Gov. Jim Hodges, as Sanford promises reform in Columbia and a fresh approach free of the incumbents’ baggage.
