Coleman hits the airwaves

GOP Sen. Norm Coleman released his first TV ad for the 2008 Senate campaign. Here's the ad.

More details later.

The campaign said the ad will run for at least two weeks on both broadcast and cable. They said it's a six figure buy but would not give the exact amount.

The Franken campaign released this statement on Coleman's ad buy:

"Yesterday, Norm Coleman voted to protect special tax breaks for hedge fund managers and multi-national corporations - instead of investing in renewable energy, student aid, and middle-class tax cuts for Minnesota. Today, he's using the campaign checks his corporate backers wrote him to run ads claiming he's working for Minnesota. It's business-as-usual for the Special Interest Senator."
