Rand Paul has a really funny new ad in the Kentucky Senate race, using a creative means of tying Democratic nominee Jack Conway to President Obama — with the voice of an Obama impersonator talking about how great Conway is for him.
“Jack Conway, uh, has given me a stamp of approval,” the impersonator says, as the music for “The Battle Hymn Of The Republic” plays in the background. “Conway supported me for president, helped bankroll my campaign, and even fought to pass my health care plan. Now, I need Conway in Washington, because I know I can count on Conway to vote for more spending and debt, bigger government, and higher taxes.”
The monologue is then interrupted by an incoming phone call on Obama’s trusty BlackBerry — identified by the caller-I.D. as none other than Jack Conway himself. “There he is now! Mr. Jack Conway. Now there’s a guy I can work with in Washington.”
All things considered, it’s actually a pretty solid impersonation on the part of that voice actor.
The TPM Poll Average gives Paul a lead of 47.4%-41.9%.
