One special interest leaves the market but another jumps in...

Posted at 11:58 PM on October 22, 2008 by Tom Scheck

It appears that one special interest group has taken GOP Sen. Norm Coleman's advice and will not run ads in Minnesota. We reported earlier that the 527 Republicans Who Care was going to drop $500 thousand in the race. They canceled their ads.

Meanwhile...

Another group is entering the market. Americans for Job Security has reserved ad time to run this week in the Twin Cities. KARE was the first to report that the group (which has Insurance and Business ties) will spend $150 thousand at that station alone. An official at Fox9 says the group is buying at his station as well.

NPR has a look at the group
