Speak Out: Does Negative Advertising Sway Your Vote?

Friday marked the day that the GOP race to fill Sen. Tim Scott's vacant congressional seat turned negative.

In public appearances leading up to that day, including the night before, the field had remain cordial with just a few barbs here and there. But on Friday, Elizabeth Moffly released an ad slamming "Good Ol' Boys" and John Kuhn sent out mailers trashing rival Teddy Turner.

GOP primary day is March 19.
