that was really cool how you included blog responses in that piece. it's so funny to imagine "the greatest" trailing behind romney. another u2 song that would've been appropriate i think is "bullet the blue sky" for bush/cheney. i think the best song ever though is "dole man!!!!"

It _would_ be telling to see a Presidential candidate pen a song. Better yet, think what we could learn about them by watching them in rehearsals. I enjoyed the audio summation and it has me thinking about how we evaluate the candidates or for that matter anyone we might hire. Even though we get more information about the candidate than we ever have, not a lot of it tells us how they run their operations or how they make their decisions.

If only the green party would nominate Jello Biafra...

What about Michael Jackson's song "Man in the Mirror"? Ignoring the Michael Jackson part (ick), it makes an excellent campaign anthem featuring CHANGE.
Plus it's a really good song. Love the gospel backing.
