Hagan on TPMKay Hagan is taking her campaign to the blogosphere.

The ad at right showed up today on Talking Points Memo, a popular blog led by Washington-based reporter Josh Marshall. It links to the Web site for Hagan's campaign for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.

"Kay Hagan for U.S. Senate," it reads. "An effective voice in Washington for North Carolina."

Talking Points Memo definitely leans left, but it features more aggressive reporting on issues such as the firing of U.S. attorneys than the political commentary typical on sites like the Daily Kos.

The ad, a Google ad and recent outreach to progressive group blog BlueNC show that Hagan, who has been spurned by some in the netroots, is making an effort to reach out.

Update: A spokeswoman for Hagan said the ad only runs when visitors to Talking Points Memo have IP addresses registered in North Carolina.

Just an FYI, Josh Marshall has been based out of NYC the last few years.
