The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is launching a heavy TV ad buy in defense of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, the latest turn in the establishment’s move to shore up GOP candidates against hard-right opponents, POLITICO has learned.

The Chamber placed a $182,240 statewide buy on broadcast TV from Dec. 3 through Dec. 12, three media-buying sources said.

Wasn't the Chamber a respectable organization at one point?  I isn't anymore is it!

The comment section doesn't seem to like Mitch to much.

The Chamber is still a respected organization. 

Matt Bevins wanted a government bailout.  Since when do conservatives line up behind a crony capitalist?

Rand Paul spent about 8 million to win in 2010 in KY.  In the grand scheme of statewide elections $180,000 is the equivilant of a booger.  Not putting the chamber down.  I like their input, but just putting it in perspective.
