GOP super PAC preparing $10M ad blitz in South Carolina to boost Graham

Source: The Hill

A top super PAC with ties to the GOP Senate leadership is preparing to roll out a $10 million ad barrage in South Carolina as Republicans look to boost Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in his unexpectedly tight reelection bid.

The Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) will launch its three-week television and radio blitz starting Saturday in an effort to push Graham over the finish line in his race against Democrat Jaime Harrison, who has closed his polling gap with the South Carolina Republican and emerged as a fundraising juggernaut.

Consecutive polls have shown the Senate race is a statistical tie after Graham enjoyed a double-digit lead earlier this year. And Harrison has flexed his financial muscle, raising $10.6 million in August alone and $2 million in the two days after a poll released last month showed the race deadlocked.

Signs of Harrison's strength in the race have spurred Democratic groups to jump into the race, with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) last month announcing a seven-figure investment on his behalf and Senate Majority PAC coming in with another $6.5 million.

That's $10 million they have to spend on what should have been a safe seat and $10 million less they have to spend on other seats like Iowa and NC. Thin them out

But money doesn't cause the win. It's usually sent to the person who is ahead, and so the two highly correlate.

Contradicting this are decades of research that suggest that money probably isn’t the deciding factor in who wins a general election, and especially not for incumbents. Money is well spent up to a week before an election, but by the week before, no.

then put it in a campaign commercial. Part of our spending problem is long-term senior politicians grabbing as many federal dollars as they can regardless of how much their states and districts are actually contributing.

.....for now.

I am waiting for the day when Graham gets his comeuppance. I pray it is in this election. I want to see his watery eyes after he loses pleading with the public not to think he was close to Trump. That he actually disagreed with him on "a lot of things". I can see it now.

He obviously is entwined in Russian subversion too. How does someone spin so fast 180, right after McCain died, before his body was even cold, he latched onto his Dear Leader?

I want him gone from Washington plus be charged with conspiracy and money laundering too. I want him to pay for his hypocrisy. He and McConnell are the next two I want to see go down just after Trump himself.

Nope, that won't work, try the first side again.

Dang. Never mind.

But, where's my $10million, please.
