Conservative ad touts O-Care opposition

A conservative nonprofit is launching a new ad tying Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and touting their opposition to ObamaCare.

The ad, from Kentucky Opportunity Coalition, is backed by a $382,000 buy and will run for a week across the state.
