McConnell Strikes Back: Grimes is Just Like Obama

I wrote yesterday about Kentucky's Democrat nominee for Senate, Alison Lundergan Grimes, distancing herself from President Obama in a new ad released by her campaign. Her opponent, incumbent Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell, struck back today with a stinging ad, claiming that Grimes is exactly like Obama—even down to the photo ops.

Ouch.

Washington Post has more (emphasis added):

McConnell's assertions in the ad that Grimes has repeatedly sided with the president on unpopular-in-Kentucky issues doesn't offer any context, but none is really needed. McConnell's point is that Grimes is an Obama clone, and his point is made very effectively -- even making sure the two Democrats' weapons are pointing in the same direction.

Grimes consistently trails in the polling, in part because McConnell has effectively made the race about Obama. Yeah, on the thin veneer surface, this is a race about guns and gun use. But it's really about whether or not Grimes is an Obama clone, thanks to McConnell's very effective framing. Meaning that by releasing her gun ad, Grimes basically walked right into McConnell's strategy.

It seems as though this race is going to get continuously tense as Election Day approaches.
