Rick Nolan Anti-Iran Vote Commercial
I was amazed tonight watching KARE 11, they are now running commercials to urge Rick Nolan to vote against the Iran deal in Congress. I see this as the first salvo in the 2016 house race for MN-8 a year early. If it wasn't then why not go after more local US Reps around the Twin Cities?
It was American Action Network that sponsored it:

Minnesota Congressman Rick Nolan's support for a controversial nuclear deal with Iran is the focus of a new $100,000 television and digital campaign announced today by the American Action Network.
In a press release announcing the new advertisement, American Action Network President Mike Shields said the "deal with Iran is a historic mistake that could have cataclysmic consequences for America and our allies."
Shields added, "[y]et despite all the bipartisan warnings, Rick Nolan has shown he’s willing to sacrifice sanity and our safety by supporting a deal that paves the way for a nuclear Iran."
According to polling information released by the American Action Network, Nolan's support of the nuclear deal with Iran differs with a majority of likely voters in the Democrat's district in northern Minnesota - 54 percent oppose the agreement with Iran, while only 27 percent support it.
Looks like good old Norm Coleman is behind this:

This isn’t the first time Nolan’s been attacked on the air this year, with the election well over a year away. The National Republican Congressional Committee hit Nolan over his support for closing the Guantanamo Bay prison. Republicans believe Minnesota’s Eighth District could be a chance for a victory in a Democratic-held seat.
