KY-Sen: Alison Lundergan Grimes to announce today

[politicus]

Here's McConnell's first ad.

It's actually pretty catchy...

Sure, it's catchy, if songs like Stupid Hoe by Nicki Minaj are your thing.

This is why 70-year-old men need to stop trying to relate to youngs.

I doubt McConnell had anything to do with creating the add.

Of course not, he'd probably notice the fact that they spelled his own name wrong. Overall it was just incredibly sloppily/hastily made, and in general another cringeworthy attempt at relating to young people made by old Republicans.

Irony, ever heard of it?

By talking about 70 year old men trying to relate to young people you missed that this add is likely crafted by people in their late 20s/early 30s and you keep up that misperception by mentioning "old Republicans".
Furthermore this ad is clearly directed to the general public, its not youth related. You need to be a self centered teenager to get that idea.

[Stranger in a strange land]

I'll need to see some polling before I actually believe that McConnell is in trouble.

Her website is up. Her sign seems very Heitkamp-esque.


But McConnell's staffers are on a roll with sh**tty campaign moves, setting up a fake Grimes website and Facebook page that looks convincing at first glance:

Yikes. To be expected, I suppose...

Not to say that it isn't an asshole move but a lot of campaigns do that, guys.

No they don't. Name one campaign that has done this kind of move before.

The mock site is becoming extremely common.

I hope the five examples are enough for you. Don't be so definitive in your wrongness next time.

I seem to recall it going further than that with regards to Corwin. I seem to recall liberal posters gloating about how Democrats volunteered to do phonebanking during which they would "advocate" for her by attacking Medicare.

[ElectionsGuy]

Looks like this could actually be somewhat competitive.

[free my dawg]

Breitbart is actually bragging about it going viral.

They're actually too stupid to realize that it's just the left laughing at them.

This is very, very common. The congressional campaign I worked on was the victim of a fake twitter feed ran by our opponent.

They could try to be a little more subtle about it, they fact that it mentions the war on coal by name just screams fake. Plus I think the Facebook page actually says it was made by the McConnell Campaign right at the top of the page.

Beshear has an interesting rivalry with the Lundergans.

[President von Cat]

It is frustrating that Grimes' Senate campaign website isn't the top result, or even one of the top results, when you Google her name. Instead its buried as the fifth or sixth result, under news about her and even her Wikipedia page. They need to get on that!

Is it legal for someone not from Kentucky to donate money to her campaign?

Yes, of course.

Every time I see this thread, that damn "LEFT--WING--MIME!" riff goes off in my head. Does anyone else have that McConnell videos as an earworm?

[Keystone Phil]

I will occasionally hear, "What, what rhymes with Alison Lundergan Grimes?" in my head.
