Bizarre Herman Cain Presidential Ad Goes Viral 
-----------------------------------------------



The latest campaign ad for GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain has gone
viral in part because the ad ends with an odd clip of his
chief-of-staff, Mark Block, taking a drag on a cigarette and then
blowing smoke into the camera. Up until January, Block served as the
Wisconsin director of Americans For Prosperity, a Koch Brothers-funded
organization. The ad has surprised some since Herman Cain is a cancer
survivor. In 2006 he was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer, which had
spread to his liver.

Mark Block, Herman Cain Chief of Staff: “We’ve run a campaign like
nobody’s ever seen but then, America’s never seen a candidate like
Herman Cain. We need you to get involved because together we can do
this, we can take this country back.”
