Conservative group to launch Thompson attack ad (AP)

Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson isn?t a declared U.S. Senate candidate yet, but that hasn?t stopped Club for Growth, a national conservative group, from preparing a statewide TV ad attacking the Republican. In additions to charges about his support for health care reform, the commercial also alludes to tax increases under Thompson?s watch but it doesn?t elaborate. Club for Growth Action provided AP a list of spending hikes, including increases in cigarette taxes and tuition hikes at most University of Wisconsin campuses.
