Being oblivious to the importance of the State religion of Kentucky appears to be a bi-partisan affair:)

A spokeswoman for Alison Lundergan Grimes, McConnell's likely Democratic opponent, quipped that McConnell has "been in Washington so long that he doesn't know the difference between Duke and UK."

Of course, Grimes had already miffed fans by picking Wichita State to beat Kentucky in her tournament bracket.

Pretty funny. The original McConnell ad flashes, at the 1:09 minute mark, Lance Thomas and another Dukie cellebrating amidst confetti as the 2010 championship game ends. It is on screen for less than a half-second, but apparently threatenes to derail his reellection campaign... Duke hate runs deep there! :rolleyes:

Of course it doesn't help that he's already under suspicion for having attended L'ville as an undergrad, then later UK.

On a completely unrelated note (and I hope this doesn't get misconstrued as a public policy comment), #mcconnelling is one of my favorite things over the past month.

From DBR, I first learned about Rebecca Black's "Friday" (week of the 2010 Baylor game) and now #mcconnelling ....

I wonder how many UK fans know what a gerund is.

But on the original post, what I like most about the ad is the tag line at the end: "I'm Mitch McConnell, and I approve of Christian Laettner."
