Is Herman Cain a viable candidate for the Republicans?

Here are Gallup’s latest poll numbers. Cain may not be on top, but he is certainly in the running and if you look at previous weeks he is gaining ground. He is making the rounds of the news shows, has a beautiful website, and obviously understands how to use social media. Then he produces an advertisement that shows his campaign manager smoking a cigarette as he discusses how we need to take America back. This is Herman Block, the same fellow who was banned from politics in the state of Wisconsin for violating campaign laws. Does Cain have even an outside chance of getting the nomination? What do you see as his angle here?
