I'm trying to convince myself this GOP ad is a joke

But I think they're completely serious with this one. It may deserve the award for cheesiest narration ever.
I'm still trying to put my finger on who it sounds like.

#!

Brought to you by Florida Republican John "no smoking signs are like the holocaust" Raese, who's running for U.S. Senate in W.Va. against Joe Manchin. This Raese's fifth attempt at a statewide campaign (he's never won before).
