those koch boys love them some marsha blackburn....

The conservative political arm of the Koch network is launching a $2 million ad buy against former Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen, signaling a major investment by the group in Tennessee’s U.S. Senate race this fall.

The 30-second ad, which will begin airing statewide Thursday on cable, broadcast and digital platforms, attacks Bredesen’s spending on upgrades to the governor’s mansion, along with multiple tax increases and fee hikes that took place while he was Tennessee governor from 2003 to 2011.

It was paid for by Americans for Prosperity-Tennessee, the state chapter of the national conservative political advocacy group funded by billionaire brothers David Koch and Charles Koch.

Meanwhile, the Bredesen campaign launched a new digital ad of its own Wednesday in anticipation of attacks against the former two-term governor. In the ad, Bredesen notes that while "the attacks have started," he would rather "be talking about ideas."

5. This means Bredesen is ahead.

Her ads have been very weak. One has her with Lamar Alexander talking about how great the tax cuts are. Lamar is not that popular with the deplorables.
