Sen. Michael Bennet is out with a pair of TV ads in Iowa this week, an effort to build up his poll numbers and name recognition in the first caucus state.

The Colorado Democrat didn't appear on the primary debate stage last week, after failing to reach the criteria set by the Democratic National Committee. But Bennet is doubling down on his commitment to Iowa with a seven-figure TV and digital ad push over the next several weeks, starting Tuesday.

This week, ad-tracking firm Advertising Analytics found that Bennet's campaign is up with $190,000 on TV and $250,000 on digital ads. The campaign confirmed that it expects to release a third ad, as well as airing the ads in New Hampshire soon.

The first ad, "Most," casts Bennet as a pragmatic problem-solver "tackling tough problems" as superintendent of Denver public schools and "leading efforts for comprehensive immigration reform and making Washington work for the people again."

1. He's a very intelligent man who would be a wise POTUS

But sadly he doesn't have the glamour factor to gain publicity in a social media dominating, soundbite cable news culture.

It's a shame because one of the reasons Biden is still out in front is he has that entire moderate wing to himself. Not because he's the only moderate but that the others get no attention.

3. I like Bennet. In another time I think he would have taken off as a candidate. Maybe he has

a better political future ahead.

4. He'd also be a great pick for say,

Sec. of Education in a new administration.
