Sanford wants advertisement pulled in state Senate
contest
Associated Press
CHARLESTON
-- Republican Gov. Mark Sanford wants Democratic state Senate candidate Justin
Kahn to withdraw a TV ad that includes a photo of the men standing
together.Sanford says the picture gives voters the impression he supports Kahn
when he actually backs incumbent Republican Sen. Glenn McConnell."It suggests a
relationship that doesn't exist," Sanford said.Kahn said the commercial is
designed to show he can work with politicians from both sides. The ad also
features Kahn with Charleston's Democratic Mayor Joe Riley. Kahn has no plans to
pull the ad. Sanford said Kahn didn't identify himself before, during or after
the photograph was taken.The governor said he is protective when his image is
used for unauthorized political purposes."We can't make anybody do anything,"
Sanford said. "But if he had asked me if he could run this ad to run against
Glenn McConnell, I would have said no."
