The campaign of U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) is out with eight new television spots today, each focusing on a different region of the state and what the campaign says are the four-term incumbent's accomplishments there.

Spots were cut featuring the Senator for eastern Kentucky, Hopkinsville, Owensboro, Paducah, northern Kentucky, Bowling Green, central Kentucky, and Louisville.

"Building central Kentucky's economy in tough economic times - it's a challenge," says McConnell in each spot, albeit with the region changed where appropriate.

The Senator then references specific projects for each region upon which he says he has worked. In the eastern Kentucky spot, for example,  McConnell says he has "fought to expand coal-to-liquids, promote coal as a transportation fuel, and create new energy jobs."

In the Bowling Green spot, the incumbent references the local university, touting "$60 million to support Western Kentucky University programs and cutting edge research."

The message from the speakers at Friday’s Legacy Dinner in Louisville to the assembled College Republican crowd was simple: we’ve got a fight coming.
