Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Romney-Perry: Americans For Herman Cain Launches Web Clip Over Pair's Debate Encounter (VIDEO)

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots fans rejoice. The classic game is experiencing a political revival.

Last Tuesday, GOP candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Perry engaged in a heated encounter during the Las Vegas presidential debate. The intensity behind the duo's altercation has prompted a pro-Herman Cain Super PAC to take those tussles to a new level.

Americans for Herman Cain has released "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Romney-Perry", a web clip that morphs Romney and Perry into argumentative robot form.

Complete with boxing bells, the 70-second ad profiles four rounds of Romney and Perry's bickering over their stances on immigration issues. Both candidates took hits on their records in Las Vegas -- Romney over hiring companies that employed undocumented individuals, and Perry over his 2001 Texas in-state tuition policy for undocumented students.

The visuals then come into play, with Romney and Perry's shoulders turning into robot arms. A cacophony of yelling culminates with the phrase "They're right about one thing: each other." With about ten seconds to spare, viewers are serenaded to the tune of "Eye of The Tiger". They learn that "there is a conservative choice" and that man is Herman Cain.

While the Oct. 18 debate indicated that the race was down to Romney-Perry, that Cain claim may be credible among voters. A CBS News/New York Times poll released on Tuesday still has Cain as the front-runner. Romney sits in a close second-place spot, while Perry lags at a distant fifth-place.

Here is what would have been WONDERFUL if it would have happened when Romney put his hand on Perry's shoulder: Perry; I know ONE thing for SURE Mitt, You put that hand & arm on me again, and you will be pullin' back a STUMP"

So far the Republican do not have a good enough person running for President. They are lacking in consistency substance or anything somewhat honest.

I would call the ad satire, but that would be giving the Cain campaign too much credit.

So, this was an idea that I came up with a week ago and played on The Stephanie Miller Show 6 days ago:

OK. I commented about the guy-smoking-Cain commercial, that Cain should get Saatchi & Saatchi to be his advertising agency as they did wonders for Margaret Thatcher in the 80s.... then this commercial comes along.... and we have 'Eye of The Tiger' from 1982!!!!!

Bless Herman Cain and all who sail in him..
