Republican presidential candidate Herman Cains campaign says its overnight viral sensation is no joke.
The quirky YouTube video showing chief of staff Mark Block taking a drag on a cigarette while asking supporters to get involved in the campaign is for real.
It was meant to tell supporters about the campaign, campaign spokesman J.D. Gordon told The Daily Caller in an email.
It was a video with an edge as the Chief of Staff says, just Block being Block, Gordon told TheDC.

Seems like there really isn’t much that you DO like about Cain since all you ever do is b**ch about him.

Since when is 27k Youtube views a “overnight viral sensation”?

I don’t particularly like that one ad but that’s no big deal. There will be lots and lots of ads.
To me the issue is 999.
Cain has to unchain himself from 999.
It’s way to restrictive and problem-prone (and already undergoing questionable changes).
He has to run as a CANDIDATE, not a d*mn tax package.

This proves what I was trying to tell people last night - it was a video sent to Cain’s supporters NOT a campaign ad.
I thought it was funny! The only thing missing was Gunsmoke music in the background :-)

He looks like the Smoking Man on the X-files series. Maybe someone will post a pic.

It could be the worst, most creepy political ad I have ever seen from a supposed serious presidential candidate. Neither Cain, nor his campaign team, are ready for prime time. Not even close.
