Thoughts?

LOL...Is it a joint or a cigarette? I like it...it's authentic though he's doing that thing politicians do with their hand/thumb all the time. Cain's been having a lot of foobar moments lately but I don't think this ad impacts him negatively.

Definitely authentic. At first I thought it was a campaign gaffe, now im not so sure, but regardless it doesn’t matter. Cain’s campaign isn’t funded by Wall Street like Obama’s and Romney’s but he’s still getting tons of attention from an ad that isn’t costing him a thing. He’s running a completely non-traditional campaign and in the process defining himself not as anti-establishment but as the non-establishment choice, which is pretty smart.
