In what may be the first negative ad from the Rand Paul campaign, at least the first one that I’ve seen, we’re treated to something unusual, an Obama impersonator who talks about how much he needs Jack Conway’s help:

A little cheesy ? Maybe, but in a state where the President has a 60% disapproval rating according to the latest Rasmussen poll, it strikes me as being a very effective ad.

Now, how many of you noticed the pop culture reference at about 0:22 ?
