The Republican presidential race is now down to three candidates, including Gov. John Kasich — and after his win in Ohio, Kasich is finally getting his moment in the spotlight. That includes, finally, late-night parodies. On Wednesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel unveiled a new ad for Kasich that, as Kimmel puts it, "actually makes a very compelling argument for why he should be the nominee." There's a little bit of ribbing Kasich, but the gist of the short-and-sweet (fake) ad can be summed up in this 100 percent true pronouncement by the spot's narrator: "John Kasich is not any of the other candidates at all — that's a promise."
