I never really understood the appeal of Alison Lundergan Grimes, the Democratic challenger to Mitch McConnell in last year’s Kentucky Senate race. She was supposed to be one of her party’s most promising political talents yet to me she seemed like nothing special.

Until I saw the ads with her grandmothers, that is. I particularly liked the video showing the making of the original Elise and Thelma commercial from her run for Kentucky secretary of state.
