    I'm not sure if it's the cheesy music, or the campaign manager taking a drag off his cigarette, or Cain's creepy smile at the end that is the oddest, but wow, this is awesomely horrible.

    I forgot to add the weird "no" shakes of the head by Mustache Guy while talking about Cain.

    Just ... wow.

    Hah, that's terrific.

    The cigarette is a nice reminder of Herman's lobbying career.

    I could have made the ad better tho. I would have had Block wear a paisley shirt, bell bottoms, and platform shoes.

    Well, dressing him as Hitler would be just a little bit too obvious. That's why I think the 70's fashion would work well.

    Does anyone else think that Cain is trying to blow this campaign because he never thought he'd get this far? He reminds me of Redford's character in "The Candidate" when after he wins, he asks the question, "What do we do now?".

    And he should get it. He's way more entertaining on an ongoing basis than, say, Palin. He's actually well suited to that role. President, not so much.

    Herman Cain: Relax, Republicans, he's black, but not so black that he won't let an old white guy talk for 95% of his commercial.

    It's not what I think, it's what I know. He's sabotaging himself because he's surprised his nonsense has lasted this long.

    Quotes the Pokemon theme song... takes his tax plan from a video game... now this weird video ending in his trollface?

    Is Herman Cain trolling America?

    btw, is that a REAL ad, or an actual joke one set up to look like a real one? If you look at the rest of the videos on the channel, they don't really look like official ones from a candidate, but either a fan, or someone mocking it.

    Yes it is real. This guy is an amateur and has no idea how to speak to the media or run a campaign. He's never held public office and it shows.

    Dang. When this was posted on here last night there were about 380 views on youtube. Now there are 83,000.

    Wish I knew how to drive traffic like that.

    *puffs cig and then grins out side of mouth*

    Props to Papag for spotting the meme at nearly inception.

    That was so bad I have to believe someone else made it to embarrass him. If not, that's just unbelievable.
