Bevin Goes on Attack with Anti-McConnell Radio Ads

Republican Matt Bevin is airing radio ads depicting Senator Mitch McConnell as an out-of-touch Washington insider and characterizing their race as a fight for "the heart and soul" of the political process.
 
Bevin tries to capitalize on his outsider status with the statewide ads, his first of the new year.
 
He's trying to unseat the five-term Republican Senate leader in the May GOP  primary in Kentucky.
 
One ad pokes at McConnell's longevity. It notes the Cosby Show was new and Cabbage Patch Kids were hot toys when McConnell was first elected to the Senate.
 
The other ad says McConnell symbolizes a system run by career politicians and their "Washington cronies."

McConnell campaign spokeswoman Allison Moore says Bevin came out with the "lame attacks" just a day after he denounced negative campaigning.
