Yesterday, via a YouTube.com video message, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton invited the nation to join arms in democracy and lend a hand in selecting a campaign song behind her bid at the democratic nomination, and ultimately, the White House. Since then, bloggers have flocked to hillaryclinton.com to punch their vote — hopefully no hanging chads — and select their favorite tune offered on the ballot, including U2’s “Beautiful Day” and “City of Blinding Lights,” Jesus Jones’ “Right Here, Right Now,” and Smash Mouth’s cover of the Monkees’ “I’m a Believer,” as well as offer additional anthem suggestions. And while most bloggers offer a smorgasbord of suggestions to the presidential hopeful, ranging from R.E.M. to Buffalo Springfield, others study further and note the evolving and possibly improper marketing of a presidential campaign.
Here’s what bloggers are about Clinton’s campaign song election:
“How about we all suggest “Best is Yet to Come” by David Hasselhoff…” — SamMoore, sammoore.livejournal.com
“”For What it’s Worth” — Buffalo Springfield.” — Capnmak, youtube.com
