Nice try! Democrats try to distance themselves from Obama for midterm, but it's too late!

A Democratic Senate candidate, Alison Grimes, is trying her best to let Kentuckians know that she is certainly not an Obama Democrat, releasing a campaign ad where she wields a gun to prove it.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Grimes' 30-second ad takes place in a field while she shoots skeet and mocks her opponent, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, her opponent in the race, while denying similarities to President Barack Obama.

You can be a light in this dark world with "prayer and action."

"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 that was released by McConnell campaign which confused the state's two college basketball teams.

"I'm not Barack Obama," Grimes said. "I disagree with him on guns, coal and the EPA. And Mitch, that's not how you hold a gun," she says, flashing a photo of McConnell holding a gun upside down at a Conservative political conference back in March.

In response to Grimes' ad, McConnell's campaign spokeswoman Allison Moore replied that "An inexperienced Obama liberal with a gun is no less dangerous ‎for Kentucky families than one without. Much of Alison Lundergan Grimes' financial support comes from those seeking to implement gun control and wage the war on coal but cynically she believes a recycled TV ad idea will fool Kentuckians."

Regardless of the ad, McConnell has the support from the NRA, which endorsed McConnell's race last week and gave him an A+ on Second Amendment rights.

"The true measure of leadership and courage comes during moments of adversity and Leader McConnell has stood steadfast with America's law-abiding gun owners during the most trying of times," said Chris Cox, the chairman of the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund.

"He has fought against sweeping gun and ammo bans and supported substantive efforts that rightfully place the burden of our justice system on violent criminals. Leader McConnell also led the effort in the U.S. Senate last year to defeat Barack Obama and Michael Bloomberg's gun control agenda."
