I wrote a number of posts on this blog during the race for Kentucky's senate seat. The race pitted incumbent Senator Mitch McConnell against Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes. McConnell won the race going away but one ad from that campaign fascinated me. The ad does not disparage Grimes it simply mocks her with the oft repeated question, what rhymes with Grimes?
Well what does rhyme with Grimes? Try crimes. From the Louisville Courier Journal; " A federal grand jury in Lexington has subpoenaed records of Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes and her father Jerry Lundergan in an investigation that relates to the finances of her political campaigns in 2014 and 2015."
An attorney for Grimes did tell the paper that the grand jury had subpoenaed her campaign records but as in the case of Hillary Clinton she is not the target of the investigation. There is always the possibility that the lawyer is speaking the truth. Jerry Lundergan is a former Democratic State Chairman who would not be above cutting a corner or two. He served as Grimes' campaign manager. His personal records and the records of two companies controlled by him have also been subpoenaed.
