Obama and McCain’s Favorite Songs
Wonder what Barack Obama and John McCain might have on their iPods? Wonder no more, as Blender.com asked the two for their top-10 tracks.
I imagine these to be extremely careful choices, vetted and massaged by no fewer than a half-dozen campaign staffers.
And it amuses me to envision McCain rocking out to “Dancing Queen.”
