It's another YouTube dust-up in the democrats' U.S. Senate primary in Kentucky.

The Jack Conway campaign has posted a video taken by a campaign tracker which alleges that rival Daniel Mongiardo is using state resources to publicize campaign events.

It was shot during a Mongiardo appearance on Friday.In the video, Conway trackers attempt to get into the event and are turned away.

In a campaign marked by YouTube attacks, this video includes a surreal exchange as the campaign trackers for Mongiardo and Conway tape each other.

A Conway campaign spokesman argues that because the office of Lt. Governor Daniel Mongiardo released a media advisory about Mongiardo speaking about healthcare reform and legislation, that Mongiardo should not “slam the door when someone shows up to try and find out where he stands on the issues."

A Mongiardo campaign spokesman says the claims are as ridiculous as they are false, and that the Conway campaign is lashing out because they are angry about how well mongiardo is doing in the race.
