Conway ads turn positive in home stretch of campaign as RGA goes back on air for Bevin

Attorney General Jack Conway has hammered Republican gubernatorial opponent Matt Bevin in recent months over statements on education, taxes and other issues, but as the campaign nears the final days the Democratic candidate has turned positive on-air. Conway still has outside super PAC support in the form of Kentucky Family Values who continue to hammer Bevin in their ads.

...

Meanwhile, the Republican Governor’s Association has gone back on-the-air with a “seven figure ad buy” in support of Bevin through the end of the election. The group had pulled their ads in late September — leaving Bevin essentially alone and out spent on air.

The RGA says their buy “will include television, digital and direct mail detailing how career politician Jack Conway’s consistent support for Barack Obama’s failed liberal policies would further take Kentucky down the wrong path,” according to a press release.

“Kentucky is in desperate need of a fresh start and the RGA is committed to ensure Matt Bevin is elected governor on November 3,” said RGA Communications Director Jon Thompson. “With no early voting in Kentucky, it all comes down to Election Day. This new and large expenditure will ensure voters know who the real Jack Conway is: a career politician who has routinely put Barack Obama’s destructive liberal policies ahead of the well-being of the Commonwealth.”

Over the weekend Bevin told Pure Politics that he planned to invest more of his money in the campaign, adding his hope that polls showing a margin-of-error race coax groups like the Republican Governors Association back into the state.

Bevin seems dishonest but I’ll never vote for a Democrat because they are always dishonest. With Bevin I might get a little of what I want but with a Democrat I’ll always find a knife in my back.

We get a lot of TV ads for KY races due to living nearby. Bevin’s been absolutely pounded on air. I think I’ve seen ONE Bevin ad in the last few weeks. Conway’s run about once every 5 minutes, if not twice... I’d be sick of ‘em even if I was a Dem, and I don’t even watch that much TV (local news, mostly.)
