Democratic Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes wants Kentuckians to know she is most definitely not President Barack Obama, and she even wields a gun in her latest campaign ad, released today to prove it. The entire 30-second ad takes place in a field where Grimes shoots skeet while she mocks Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, her opponent in the race, and lists off the issues she disagrees with the unpopular Democratic president on. 'Mitch McConnell wants you to think I'm Barack Obama. Mitch is the same guy who thought Duke basketball players were UK,' Grimes says, referring to an ad the McConnell campaign released that confused the state's two college basketball teams.
