Today is primary election day in Oklahoma and in the weeks and days leading up to the primary most of us have read, seen or heard enough political advertisements to make us want to gag.

But there was one advocacy ad regarding this primary election that caught the attention of the national news media.

Who hasn’t seen ads were the spouses, children or grandchildren of the candidate praise their family member and urge voters to elect them?

Okay, now who has seen an ad were the daughter of the candidate takes out an ad in a newspaper and sets up a web site urging voters “Do not vote for my Dad”?

Well…

McClain County judicial hopeful John Mantooth is the target of a newspaper ad and website paid for by his daughter and son-in-law urging his defeat.

The daughter and son-in-law paid for the quarter-page advertisement, which features a picture of the daughter’s family, highlights cases in which Mantooth has been sued and lists a website the couple started, Do Not Vote For My Dad that urges voters to vote against Mantooth.

Reportedly, there has been “bad blood” between father and daughter since the father divorced the daughter’s mother way back in 1981.

Some grudges die hard apparently…

Don’t forget to vote!
