Lots of buzz about this among political junkies on Twitter tonight, mostly of the so-bad-it’s-good variety. Is the image of this guy taking a soothing drag on camera after 40 seconds of ad-tastic exertion really that strange and transgressive? Cain’s campaign is all about unapologetic populist authenticity, and there’s nothing more unapologetically, authentically populist than defiantly lighting one up when the mood strikes, politesse be damned. As the man says, “We’ve run a campaign like nobody’s ever seen.” If you’ve got a problem with casual smoking during presidential spots, well, that only proves what an uptight establishment RINO you really are.
In the next spot, Block should have a smoke in one hand and a can of Schlitz in the other. And as the camera pulls back, there’s Cain next to him, eating a slice of Godfather’s and giving a big thumbs-up.

Mark Block must be a racist. /s
What do you do, when you’re on fire politically, but still short on funds, and trying to keep your name out there?
Run a cheesy ass youtube ad that you hope goes viral.
It worked.
Go Cain!
Substance over style has a style all its own.
“Obama eats a Twinkie”
Larry Sinclair will be in it?
Well, this certainly won’t alleviate anyone’s fears than Cain doesn’t have enough money to run a formidable campaign. I’d rather see 15 seconds of Cain bashing Obama than this.
Deliberate reference to the tobacco addicted Obama?

HA! GREAT ad, especially the smile at the end!
GO! CAIN! GO!
According to the Dims, practically everyone is a racist, especially if you don’t buy into their BS.
Beautiful!
There is little buzz and Twitter is a waste of electrons.
I think I will send HERMAN some more money. LOVE HIM ! ! !
PING!
Look at the body language...........that speaker keeps shacking his head "NO", when he is supposedly speaking in favor of Cain.
And the smoking, at the end, is puerile and meaningless.
It's simple and does what intended, everyone is talking about it.
According to the Dims, practically everyone is a racist, especially if you don’t approve of the abysmal job Barry is doing. They’ll look even more foolish making that argument if the Republican nominee is black also. :-)
I love the sonf “I am Americaaa...”
Brilliant ad. The age group that guy represents are the ones really peeved at Obama and the state of the country. The smoking emphasizes that they’re not politically correct. Brilliant.
