Herman Cain
 

WTF was his campaign thinking with this ad?




IMO he doesn't expect to win or intend to try to win the nomination. He makes his living selling his books, motivational speaches and appearing at right wing gatherings. Not unlike other conservativs like Sarah Palin, Newt, Pat Buchanon, etc. he's screwing around in the primary as a way to boost his "brand".

Once it's over he'll negotiate a contract with Fox for a TV show.

lol

I don't really see how this hurts him, it's just a totally bizarre ad

this prolly won't hurt either...

Ol' Tar Lungs went on Fox to explain the ad...



I think the only message they were trying to send with the ad is that they're not going to crack to political correctness. Cain is trying to portray himself as the anti-politician, so it makes sense.

no. it doesn't make sense.

it's an "everyman" approach but i don't think scotty has the mental faculties to see that

herman. HERman

HERman

i think he could actually win the nom if he had money and the establishment behind him. but yeah it's a vanity campaign

that's how big of a vacuum the gop field is now - this guy actually ended up being a frontrunner

But doesn't that apply to ...everyone?

i don't think so. perry for example had money and most of the establishment willing to give him a shot. but he blew it on his own ineptitude.

the RNC laid the groundwork for a strong personality to come along and be our next president. but cain isn't what they had in mind

also i got to emphasize the money part. cain's campaign is running on fumes in relation to romney

another one

oh yeah the red states are totally gonna vote for a black man

no fucking kidding the left wing wonks have been saying that since he entered the race

great analysis fuckwit

eh they might

it's great cover for racists

it's like the ultimate "i have a black friend" defense

herman cain was born in Namibia

the thing about rick perry being a woman really sunk his campaign

Yeaaaah let's just not talk about Cain and say we did K

look it's billy corgan

I have seen four of lala's posts and all four of them were literally nonsense

herman cain is a secret muslim

colbert killed it

Colbert's slow smile is so good

we all know HERman is from Azerbaijan

I do have to give kudos to the way this argument has been framed by the left:
if a conservative votes for a black man, he does it in order to cover his racism. if he doesn't vote for the black man, he's not doing so because he's a racist.

they come from different camps

and both of them exist.

when herman cain says "racism doesn't hold anyone back," you don't realize that a whole bunch of white racists hear it and say "SEE EVEN A BLACK GUY KNOWS IT!!"

you might be one of those people though so i don't blame you for not being able to see how that works.
