The Democratic National Committee is now going after South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, perhaps the most prominent anti-stimulus Republican in the country, with this new TV ad set to begin airing Monday in the Columbia media market:
The ad accuses Sanford, a vocal conservative, of playing politics in his refusal of stimulus money. “South Carolina is facing tough times – but Governor Sanford is playing politics instead of doing what’s right,” the announcer says. “Turning down millions in Recovery Act funds, putting politics ahead of health care, jobs and schools.”
