Annnd a 3rd party conservative has entered the Sanford v Colbert-Busch race:

An independent expenditure group which ran ads on behalf of S.C. Senator Larry Grooms (R-Berkeley) during last month’s GOP primary election for the Palmetto State’s first congressional district is preparing to run radio and television promoting the fiscal conservative as a write-in candidate.

You read that right …

“We’ll be launching a campaign to urge voters to write in State Senator Larry Grooms, the proven, consistent career conservative who already expressed interest in this seat earlier in the race,” said Ryan Gill of the Conservative Campaign Committee. “Since a write-in campaign is a steeper mountain to climb, we plan an even broader effort than we mounted in the primary, and we plan an even larger budget.”

Gill didn’t specify that budget, although he indicated new radio and television ads were currently in production.

“We don’t have to settle for the lesser of evils in this Special Election,” the text of one of these spots states. “Instead, write in Larry Grooms for Congress on May 7th.”
