Richard Adams on Herman Cain
βHerman Cain's bid to win the Republican presidential nomination is in danger of disappearing in a puff of smoke: specifically the long drag on a cigarette taken by Cain's campaign manager 40 seconds into a 56-second-long web ad. Cain has been running on the basis of his '9-9-9' plan for income tax reform; but it now seems obvious that $9.99 was his campaign's expenditure on perhaps the cheapest ad ever seen in American politics. And that's saying something. In the ad, Cain's top advisor Mark Block leans against a wall as if for support and wheezes through a string of platitudes. Then he stares straight at the camera in close-up and finishes with a long suck on his cigarette, exhaling while the lyrics "I am America" swell in the background. Then the ad cuts away; in time to miss Block flicking his butt into the gutter, presumably; to an eerie slow grin from the candidate himself.β
