A source sends over this unreleased Web video from Senate candidate Steve Welch of Pennsylvania, which asks if Democratic Sen. Bob Casey was ?separated at birth? from President Barack Obama.
Except this one doesn?t just ask the question rhetorically. The video is a faux documentary exploring the possibility that Casey and Obama are related, featuring fictional experts such as behavioral scientist Dr. Arthur Herberstein and probability expert Dr. Milo Kamdermann.
Continue ReadingThe video is a clever and well produced new take on a familiar Republican attack line and a sign of things to come for swing-state Senate and House races next year.
Right now, a candidate like Welch ? a wealthy entrepreneur making his first bid for statewide office ? is looking to make a splash in a GOP primary. (Call him a "separated-at-birther"?) But this kind of hit against Casey sets the stage for a general election in which Obama?s coattails could very well be determinative.
UPDATE: Matt Canter, communications director for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, scoffed at the Welch attack. "Congrats to some consultant who made a pretty penny on a web video no one will see," Canter said.?"Can't wait to watch the next episode about Welch, the guy who actually voted for Obama and now pretends he is a tea partier. But Welch is only polling at one percent right now, so he would never warrant a web video."
