Updated with Dayton campaign response.

The morning after a lively gubernatorial debate in Moorhead, Republican candidate Jeff Johnson has released a new TV ad aimed at Gov. Mark Dayton's record.

Titled "Unaware," Johnson's second ad hits Dayton with allegations of incompetence. It cites several high-profile projects on Dayton's watch in which the governor distanced himself from controversial aspects: bonuses for MNsure executives, and several aspects of the Vikings stadium project, including high seat license fees and a civil lawsuit against team owners Zygi and Mark Wilf.

"I'll be a 24/7 leader who owns his decisions. The buck stops with me," Johnson says in the ad.

The ad also features a clip of Dayton standing with President Obama, who according to recent polls is increasingly unpopular in Minnesota.

"It's not surprising to see a desperate attack from a candidate so far behind," Dayton campaign spokesman Linden Zakula said. "Commissioner Johnson offers no real ideas to improve education, create jobs, or help Minnesota families. It's easy for Commissioner Johnson to be against everything when he, himself, proposes nothing."

Johnson's campaign said it is spending $400,000 to air the ad on broadcast television statewide. Dayton's campaign has aired two television ads, both mainly focused on the governor's record in office.

On Wednesday, several Dayton campaign officials sent out fundraising missives warning supporters they might have to cut the size of their TV ad buy if the pace of fundraising doesn't pick up.

On Thursday Dayton is speaking at a forum sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota that's closed to the press. In the afternoon, the governor is convening a group of Cabinet members and airport officials to discuss Minnesota's Ebola prevention and preparation efforts.

Johnson is at a Hennepin County Board budget hearing in the morning, and in the afternoon he is speaking to the Minnesota Telecom Alliance.
