Okay you MUST see this insane ad that Mitch McConnell threw together to attack his new Democratic opponent Alison Grimes!

Courtesy of the Daily Kos:

Obviously, McConnell's campaign is trying to mock Grimes, but it's hard to see how this video accomplishes that goal. Instead, it strings together a series of one-word clips of Grimes speaking, sets them to a musical beat, and then uses autotune in an effort to turn the whole thing into a musical attack video. But instead of raising questions about Alison Lundergan Grimes, the video leaves you thinking three things: First, Mitch McConnell must be pretty damn scared of Grimes; second, Mitch McConnell doesn't have anything good to say about himself; and third, Mitch McConnell really needs to put down the crack pipe. 

WTF? No more magic mushrooms for Mitchy!


But WHY would Yertle the Turtle be so worried about a little ole gal taking him down? After all she's no Ashley Judd and isn't HE supposed to be the big muck-a-muck down in Kentucky?

Well perhaps Nate Silver can answer that: 

Mr. McConnell, the Senate minority leader, is likely to win re-election. Kentucky is a solidly Republican state, and President Obama received less than 40 percent of the vote there in 2012. Mr. McConnell has also amassed a huge war chest and hired Jesse Benton, who led Senator Rand Paul’s upset win in Kentucky in 2010, to run his campaign. 

However, he is unlikely to sail to victory. Ms. Grimes was elected to statewide office in 2011 with 60 percent of the vote. She has deep ties to Democratic politics, both in Kentucky and nationwide, as the daughter of the state’s former Democratic Party chairman, Jerry Lundergan. Those connections and the high-profile nature of the race should make it relatively easy for her to raise money. 

While there have not yet been any nonpartisan surveys testing a potential contest between Mr. McConnell and Ms. Grimes, the four partisan polls that have been conducted so far (three by the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling and one by the Republican-leaning Wenzel Strategies) have shown a relatively tight race, with Mr. McConnell leading by an average of 4.5 percentage points.

Only leading by four and half points and his opponent has only JUST thrown her hat into the ring?

Yeah I think Yertle might want to put together something a little better, and more coherent, than that LSD induced ad at the top.
