KY-Senate: Lunsford Goes There!

From the moment this race began to close I’ve been hoping that Lunsford would reprise McConnell’s classic “Bloodhound” ad.  Well, now he’s done it!  I’m afraid I don’t know how to embed videos, but it’s available on The Scorecard, which can be reached both through the Politico and RealClearPolitics.  Not only do they have the new Lunsford ad, but they also have a link to the original McConnell ad.

For those who don’t know it, McConnell’s initial win over Democratic incumbent Dee Huddleston was largely credited to an ad where bloodhounds were trying to find a Huddleston lookalike, based on the fact that he had missed a lot of votes in the Senate.  Now Lunsford has rolled out a parallel ad where the hounds are trying to find McConnell to get him to fess up to his real record in Washington.

I was living in Kentucky when McConnell ran the original ad.  What poetic justice if a revised version of that classic ad would help bring him down in 2008!
