Shooting a gun, for a Democrat, doesn’t mean that National Rifle Association members will suddenly flock to support you. But Kentucky Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes may have helped bring home the idea that she’s a real Kentuckian, not a clone of the president, in an ad showing her using a rifle for skeet shooting.
Just when you might expect her to say her own name, she turns from skeet shooting to say, “I’m not Barack Obama. I disagree with him on guns, coal, and the EPA.” Then comes a photo of incumbent Mitch McConnell waving a gun over his head: “And Mitch," she says, "that's not how you hold a gun." Ms. Grimes kept the race against a tough incumbent close.
