Remember McConnelling? The internet meme borne out of what a wordless video of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) awkwardly smiling at the camera and meeting with constituents.

Outsiders speculated that the video was designed to be extra footage, or b-roll, that outside political action groups could use to make TV ads, but now McConnell's opponent is taking advantage of it.

The Democrat running against McConnell, Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, wants to make sure your remember it. Her campaign for U.S. Senate has a new video out using the footage from the original McConnelling video but this time text going over some of McConnell's votes over the years appears over the b-roll footage of McConnell.

The goal of the ad is to paint McConnell as a lawmaker who has consistently opposed women's rights over about 30 years.

1. Her campaign advisors are terrific.

10. They're freaking brilliant!

[ffr]

14. And elegant in its simplicity, because it's all true.

Makes you wonder how idiotic other campaigns are for having not used the Republican record against their opponents.

We all know Republicans should be shamed for what they stand up against and there ability to destroy a sound economy. Glad someone on our side has finally figured that out.

3. Good ad. Can they break it down into a series of 30 second ones to put on TV?

[demwing]

13. It's only 47 seconds long

I suppose they could cut it in two, but is it necessary?

Along with Pretty Fly for a White Guy, this was my best result...
