John McCain's Campaign Theme Song

As far as I know St. John hasn't picked an official theme song. He market tested "Bomb...Bomb...Bomb...Iran" but that landed like a, well, bomb. He wanted to use a couple of John Mellencamp songs but having the music's composer and singer going around denying the campaign the right to use his music kind of stifled McCain's enthusiasm for Mellencamp.

He tried ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me" until someone explained to him that ABBA music was popular with gays. Maybe they have some geezer humming "Ballad of the Green Beret" when McCain enters but I doubt it.

Since the campaign will center on the economy I may have found the song that goes perfectly with his position on the economy. McCain's economic policy is simple. Win the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan by wishing for victory (because heaven knows we haven't been trying to win up until now). Use the savings to cut the deficit and hope that, somehow, this will magically solve the credit squeeze and collapse of the nation's infrastructure that is combining to suck the nation's economy into a giant sewer. A leaking sewer, that is.

Wishing and Hoping. John McCain's campaign in a nutshell.
