Alison Lundergan Grimes Goes Skeet-Shooting To Prove She's 'Not Barack Obama' [View all]


By Samantha Lachman


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.”
