[quote=Anonymous][quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=Anonymous]The media blitz on how horrible the ad is only plays into this: I read lots of coverage about the ad before seeing it, and I thought that it was going to be a catastrophe. When I watched it, I thought it was cheeky but kind of clever. The take-away message: Cain's a lot more clever than you think and than the media is telling you. Viral, name recognition, made a lot of people smile. A net positive. In 15 years we will look back on this ad as a significant milestone in how political candidates use the internet. [/quote] I think you're giving them way too much credit. If Block was just some random weirdo, maybe. As for there being no such thing as bad advertising, there was a lot of talk about the Gingrich campaign early on, too.[/quote] Perhaps. The fact that Cain has gotten this far biases me towards thinking his team is generally making reasonably good decisions. It won't ultimately matter, though, so we'll likely never know for sure. If there was talk about the Gingrich campaign, I missed it. I thought we'd all learned that he was not to be taken seriously as a candidate some years ago. Same with Ron Paul. Some provocative and interesting ideas, but no legs. Bland Romney it is. Probably the worst case for Obama, as he is the least likely to self-immolate. [/quote]
