[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Democrat for Sully. I don’t think he’s misrepresenting himself. He was involved in many primary debates along with the Democratic candidates and it was explicitly stated (and I thought understood) that he was the leading Republican candidate.

You don’t think that a poster for a Republican candidate should mention that he’s a Republican candidate —when the word DEMOCRATS is highlighted in campaign materials? My point is that it was not “explicitly stated” on the poster that he was the leading Republican candidate, and, at least on publicly displayed campaign materials, assuming that something is “understood” by anyone who sees it is inappropriate at best and possibly deliberately deceiving.

To be clear, I would be just as concerned if the parties were reversed, or different altogether.

To add: I personally would have no problem with a “Democrats for Sully” poster — IF the poster prominently described him as the “leading Republican candidate “.  I would view that as very effective marketing: I.e. Sully is so awesome that even Democrats support him.  My concern is that it is not immediately clear in these materials that he’s a Republican— and I think this should be clearly and unmistakably stated in campaign materials. [/quote]
