Problem:
Lisa is running for a Washington state senate seat. The polls show that Lisa trails Mary, the incumbent, and Lisa decides to air a series of "attack ads." These attack ads are very effective and, one week before the election, the polls show that Lisa has a 5% lead in the senate race. Lisa admits that the attack ads were exaggerations and contained some distortions. Which statement is correct? Group of answer choices Lisa has engaged in unethical behavior. Lisa has engaged in ethical behavior since she has an obligation to her supporters to run a campaign that will help her get elected. It is not possible to determine whether Lisa's attack ads were ethical or unethical. Assuming Lisa's attack ads were unethical, her conduct is justified and proper if she to gets elected.
