Alison Lundergan Grimes Goes Skeet-Shooting To Prove She's 'Not Barack Obama'

U.S. Senate candidate and Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) goes skeet-shooting in her campaign's latest television ad in an attempt to make it clear that she's "not Barack Obama."

The ad, released Monday, has Grimes firing critiques toward her opponent, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), as she shoots clay pigeons. She refers to a mix-up in a McConnell web video that featured an image of the Duke University Blue Devils instead of the University of Kentucky Wildcats as well as a comment he made about whether it was his responsibility to stimulate local economic development.

“Mitch McConnell wants you to think I’m Barack Obama,” she says in the ad. “Mitch is the same guy who thought Duke Basketball players were UK! Or who’s attacking me on coal, after doing next to nothing while we’ve lost thousands of coal jobs. He even said it’s not his job to bring jobs to Kentucky.”

Sometimes it's enough to make your head spin....

3. somebody needs to tell her both eyes should be open when shooting skeet

I would thing somebody who enjoys shooting would know that.

I do wonder if she actually enjoys shooting or is just pandering for votes.

5. You can't see both her eyes?

Can you?

[Travis_0004]

6. no but the one I can see is closed. I really hope she doesn't have both eyes closed.

That's not really the point. I don't like when politicians try to pander for votes. Alison Grimes shooting or Obama all the sudden shooting a shotgun or Romney braving about being an NRA life member (he joined 1 year before he starting running for president, etc.

She does claim to be an NRA member. I wonder how long she has been a member?

7. The you are telling all those people

who voted for Obama to stay home?

Damn, that's some political strategy. You just have the election to McConnel.

8. It's kind of silly, but

this is what Democrats have to do in red states. Ask Mark Begich.
