"Democrats Scale Back Spending in South Dakota Senate Race" discusses how there has been a clear reduction in the amount of funding from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in the South Dakota Senate race. This has sparked speculation that the Democratic Party has drastically reduced its interest in winning the South Dakota Senate position. Furthermore, Rick Weiland, the Democratic candidate, held a press conference attacking the DSCC; he said that their campaigns actually hurt his chances for winning the race, and that they benefitted the Independent party candidate, Larry Pressler, more than him.
I think that this is an excellent example on how funding from investors can change the way that the a political race can turn out. It is actually very unfortunate that peoples choices are based so much on propaganda and mud racking that they hear in the media. All citizens should become more informed and analyze the objective facts about each candidate and not just base their vote on what they are being told. I have become so fed up with these advertisement that whenever they come on the radio I instantly change the channel. What do you think?
This would be a rarity if the Democrats actually withdrew. I'm surprised by their reduction in the Senate race. It confuses me why Weiland's campaigning "benefited Pressler more." If this is actually what is going on, I feel that it is not right, because the Democrats should still campaign for power.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not surprised in them scaling back the money they spend in Sodak. It would make sense to me that if they don't think they will win why would they choose to continue spending lots of money. I think it makes sense to cut spending but do the least you can while still getting your name out there just in case.
