Here’s a commentary on the state of Presidential politics. John Edwards has chosen the theme song for his campaign: John Mellencamp’s “This is Our Country.” Ford – or is it Chevrolet – is using the same song to sell trucks. Senator Chris Dodd, risking the appearance of vanity, choose “Get Ready (Cause Here I Come)” by the Temptations as his theme. But Hillary topped that. She choose two songs – one for walking onto the stage, another for her exit (“Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive). Poor Barack Obama choose nothing at all. He wants a somber campaign. In case you think I made this up, I didn’t; it was in the News and Observer, right alongside the latest news about Anna Nicole Smith.
