STRANGE 100% REAL Herman Cain video campaign ad.
This is an unlisted video which means it can only be viewed by people who were given the link. I don't know what's creepier, Cain's chief-of-staff or the creepy smile Herman flashes at the end. After the chief-of-staff speaks he takes a puff on a cigarette and blows the smoke at the camera, followed by creepy smile by Cain. This video is NOT a parody or satire and is linked to Cain's Youtube account. You be the judge. I just find it kinda bizarre.

3. I can't believe that's for real!
:rofl:

That guy looks like an aging porn star. And the cigarette at the end - must have been a terrific 30 seconds.

4. Yeah, it really is weird. These people are so disconnected with reality.
And the guy is a nervous wreck.

5. I'd put that up there...
... with the Saxby Chambliss commercial where he feels up his Granddaughter right after she calls him her "big daddy". Equally creepy.

11. Ugh--that was an unfortunate grab there at the end. I don't think he realized
where his hand was, in his defense--but a smarter campaign team would have edited that out.

Is there anyone with a 'stache that won't support him? :)

25. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this might help him
Crazy as it sounds, it make make him look like "one of us" to the know-nothing segment of voters.

Also see creepy smile of the candidate below.
