Herman Cain’s Awkward Video
So far Herman Cain has been able to evade the poll-slump blues encountered by other candidates. Many predicted that like Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry before him, Cain would quickly fall to Earth. So far, though, his popularity has held up.
Cain’s success comes despite being nearly eviscerated over his 9-9-9 tax plan by fellow candidates at the last GOP debate. And now Cain has unveiled a baffling campaign video:
Ever say goodbye to someone only to realize you’re both walking in the same direction, so you go along in silence for the next half-minute? After about five seconds of Herman’s smile, I get that same uncomfortable feeling.
Everything is awkward. The music. The 10-second smile. Most curious, though, is Cain’s chief of staff, Mark Block, inexplicably taking a drag from a cigarette on camera. The comments on YouTube are brutal: as one post put it, “You’re allowed to do another take!”
It succeeded in one regard though — people are certainly talking about it.
