David Pryor did similar in Arkansas, since he basically inherited his Senate seat. It may have been a tad too early, however. He started falling behind in the spring and brought out an ad with Daddy Pryor. The race tightened some.
Now, polls show Tom Cottom as much as 8 points ahead.

Pryor did run a couple of ads dissing Cotton by presenting himself as ‘feeling entitled’ since Cotton was in the military.
That from the guy who inherited his senate seat and runs on the Pryor family name.
