Cravaack Under Fire

(AP)  In a little over 12 months, the 2012 political season will be getting into high gear. 

In Duluth, the fire storm of political ads has already begun.  The airwaves are being flooded with ads criticising and supporting freshman Republican Congressman Chip Cravaack for his vote on the Republican budget plan.

One ad paid for by a group backed by labor Unions says Cravaack's voted to end Medicare.  A conservative group countered the ads with some of their own in support of the freshman.

The Republican plan would convert Medicare to a voucher system for those who are now under 55 years of age.
