Gresham Barrett, who is campaigning against Nikki Haley for the Republican nomination for South Carolina governor, released the first ad in the runoff election today. Called “Shake Up Columbia,” the ad features a drill sergeant who claims his “grandma could run that place better.”

The drill sergeant also calls Barrett a “Christian family man who won’t embarrass us,” probably referring to current Gov. Mark Sanford and Haley, both of whom have been embroiled in well-publicized scandals recently.
