Pizza magnate Herman Cain (R), who unsuccessfully sought the open Senate seat in Georgia in the previous cycle, apparently has decided to try his luck in Rhode Island next year.

Or maybe it’s a typo.

In a recent fundraising appeal sent on behalf of Cranston Mayor Stephen Laffey, who is seeking to unseat Sen. Lincoln Chafee in next year’s Republican primary, Cain’s Web address mysteriously appeared in the disclaimer.

It seems Laffey’s campaign borrowed solicitation ideas from the former Godfather’s Pizza chief but forgot to completely tweak the form that was used to craft the letter.

In the box where campaigns explain the fine print of federal election law, someone goofed and did not replace www.CainforUSSenate.org with www.electlaffey.com.

Laffey, or someone working for him, also cannot spell his name, as the disclaimer starts with “paid for by Lafie U.S. Senate.”

And do not blame the direct-mail firm: BMW Direct Inc., which handled Cain’s mail last year, said it has not done any work for Laffey.

The Laffey campaign, which uses a different mailing firm, said it was a “printing error” but that the campaign takes “full responsibility” for the problem and will be more watchful in the future, according to spokeswoman Robin Muksian-Schutt.
