A group known as "A Strong America-Minnesota" started running this ad last night. The group is based in Alexandria, VA. The group's latest Campaign Finance report shows that Stanley Hubbard, the owner of KSTP-TV and Hubbard Broadcasting, Target Corporation Chairman and CEO Robert Ulrich and the
Minnesota Automobile Dealers Association
Committee of Automobile Retailers (not MADA) gave to the PAC so far.
Hubbard and Ulrich have given to Republican Governor Tim Pawlenty's campaign. This is the first outside interest group to run ads that benefit Pawlenty and hammer Hatch. The Alliance for a Better Minnesota and Minnesotans for Change were created to bash Pawlenty and help Hatch. The latest campaign finance report showed that Minnesotans for Change turned over $800,000 to the DFL Party.
Update: The Alliance for a Better Minnesota has a new ad (if it's not new, it's the first time I've seen it). You can watch it here.
