U.S. Chamber of Commerce is up with tv ads

The Chamber is running 44 ads between July 27th and August 9th at the cost of $17,800 on KSTP-TV. I haven't seen the ads yet but the Star Tribune's Eric Black says they're thanking GOP Congressman Mark Kennedy for passing Medicare Part D. The ads will run on Regis and the news shows.

It's no surprise that the chamber is running the ads. The National Journal reported in May that they will support Kennedy in Minnesota's U.S. Senate race. Kennedy is facing Amy Klobuchar in the November election.
