Get your remote controls ready, folks… political attack ads are about to kick it up a notch.

It’s just weeks before the madcap election year, we are about to get barraged by overdone partisan commercial hackery.

But hold on… there is the occasional original attack ad out there.

This one fits the bill. It is more like a short film (more than 5 minutes in length).

The video explores the idea that Democratic Senator Bob Casey and President Obama are so similar that they must have been separated at birth. It reminds us 2008 when Democratic candidates used similar tactics of tying their opponents to President Bush. Although we have never seen one quite like this.

Do you think this is an effective ad?
