WASHINGTON (AP) - Two conservative advocacy groups co-founded by Karl Rove are making their biggest buy yet in this year's Senate elections, with a new round of ads costing $8 million that will target Democratic lawmakers in eight states.

The targeted states feature close Senate races that American Crossroads, a super PAC, and its affiliate, Crossroads GPS, have been investing heavily in over recent months.

The nonprofit Crossroads GPS says it's spending $5.8 million this week in Indiana, Maine, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio and Virginia. Generally, the ads make the case that the Democratic candidates in those races have supported higher taxes in one form or another.

Ads from the American Crossroads political action committee will also begin running this week in Montana and Wisconsin at a total cost of $2.2 million.
