Curiouser and curiouser.
That might as well be the theme animating Herman Cain’s campaign today. Hours after a perplexing Web video surfaced of Cain chief-of-staff Mark Block touting his boss’s unifier credentials while smoking a cigarette, a pro-Cain super PAC has released its own strange wed video — this one seeking to tread the line between Rick Perry and Mitt Romney.

Driving home the metaphor are none-too-subtle rings of the bell and a rocking ’80s synth track. And in case you still don’t get it, the end of the video cuts suddenly to Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger,” introducing Cain as the true conservative.
