Man: I want the government to work for me, the taxpayer. 

[Music]

Audio from rally: Put your hands together for the next president of the United States, Mr. Herman Cain.  [cheers, applause]

Musician: He's a true son of the South, born and raised the American way.

Well his dad left the farm with just the clothes on his back, but he raised some Cain and then he never looked back. 

Herman Cain, oh Herman Cain.

Cain (voiceover): I was speaking at Tea Parties before it was cool.

Woman: When people ask me about the Tea Party, they ask me is it about color?  And I say, yes it is; it's about red, white and blue.

Cain (clips from rallies): The liberals want us to believe that we cannot do this.

My father was a barber, a janitor and a chauffeur.

The only kind of equity that he had when he walked off of that farmxxsweat equity.  And he achieved his American Dream.

Musician: Seems like things are kind of upsidedown, sure could use someone to turn 'em around, oh Herman Cain.

He's done it before, he can do it again.  His train's coming to town like a hurricane.  Herman Cain.  Get on board the Herman Cain train.

Get on board the Herman Cain train.

Cain (to camera): When I became president and CEO of Godfather's Pizza, it was supposed to go bankrupt, but I didn't get the memo.

We turned it around with common sense business principles, and we can turn this country around the same way.

Woman: America needs someone who's steadfast, and yet contemporary, someone who can speak to every generation across the generations.

Man: I think he'd be an excellent president.

Cain (clip from rally): Stupid people are ruining America.

Cain (speaking into cell phone): As long as you understand that two plus two equals four, you can make it corporate American and you can make it in government, but we don't have leaders who understand that two plus two should equal four.

Cain to reporter: Remember this presidential candidate can count.

Cain (clip from rally): Give the American people more of their money in order to stimulate the economy, not to the government

Cain (clip from rally): You see I left that Democrat plantation a long time ago, and I ain't going back.

Man on street: Thank you Mr. Cain, we love you.

Cain (with supporters, to camera): To all of those [people?] who say that the Tea Party is a racist organization, eat your words.

Man: Conservative courage.

Cain (to camera): My great, great-grandparents were slaves.  And now I'm running for president of the United States of America.  Is this a great country or what?

Woman: Ye-haw.

Man: Hey Obama.  You're going to raise a billion dollars?  Well we're going to raise some Cain, brother.

Man: Raising Cain.

Man: Let's raise some Cain.

Woman: Raise some Cain, baby.

Man: We're going to raise some Cain here in Chicago.

Man: Let's raise some Cain.

Woman: Raise Cain.

Woman: Here in Texas, we're going to raise some Cain and lots of it.

Man: We're raising some Cain.

Woman: Raising Cain.

Man: Raise some Cain.

Woman: Raise some Cain.

Woman: Let's raise some Cain here in New Hampshire.

Woman and Man: Raise some Cain.

Woman: Get on the Herman Cain train.

Musician: ...Cain train...

Cain (to camera): Success is a journey, not a destination.

Notes: The singer is Gary Eaton.  One effective sequence shows Cain walking through a tunnel and then a train coming through a tunnel.  A more questionable segment shows Cain speaking into a cell phone talking about two plus two equals four, a theme used by Newt Gingrich for well over a year.
