LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WSAZ) -- Most of the focus leading up to Tuesday's Primary in Kentucky has been on the top of the ticket, Clinton vs. Obama.

But there is another big race on the ballot that has national implications. And that is the race for a seat on the US Senate.

Chances are everyone has seen the ads between Bruce Lunsford and Greg Fischer. They started out civil, but now the two democrats are getting personal. They are both launching attack ads that are getting nastier and nastier as we get closer to Tuesday.

Click on the video to watch some of the ads.
