(CNN)--Jeb Bush's campaign is pouncing Marco Rubio's resume -- or lack thereof -- in a new, edgy TV ad that features Rick Santorum's now-famous interview and draws a contrast to Bush's record as former Florida governor.

The 60-second ad, "Accomplishments," will start running in New Hampshire on Saturday. It shows the MSNBC "Morning Joe" interview of Santorum, who endorsed Rubio this week, struggling to list anything Rubio has done of significance in the Senate during an interview on Thursday.

It's the second ad on the interview this week from a rival of Rubio, who's been gaining momentum after his strong third place finish in Iowa.

On Thursday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's team released an ad also featuring Santorum's interview. Both Christie and Bush have been making the case that Rubio lacks the experience needed to be president, and Bush has especially been trying to compare Rubio to Barack Obama circa 2008....

Bush is too liberal for me, but I like him better than Rubio in that at least he respects republicanism. He is not trying to trick voters into voting for him like Rubio is doing, imo. You know upfront what you are getting — which I do not want. Still, I respect that he is not trying to scam me.

I hope Jeb!, gains some traction at Rubio’s expense. The longer these two are splitting the GOP-lite vote the better.

I hope Bush doesn’t gain traction with this. I want Rubio to fall but I don’t want Bush to rise. Christy can rise for awhile but Bush is horrible. What a mess Tuesday is going to be I predict from 2 down.

In an 8-man race, attack ads like this usually hurt both the attacker and the attackee. Rubio benefited from the Trump-Cruz conflict last week. Rubio will suffer, but not necessarily to John Ellis Bush's benefit. It may benefit Kasich or Christie.

Apparently, Jeb hasn’t gotten the memo that the establishment must win, even it’s dressed as Rubio rather than Bush.Tearing down Rubio benefits only Trump and Cruz, and makes Bush look like a very bad mentor indeed.
