Soundtrack for 2008 Elections [call]

My candidate's chances are looking pretty good in Texas and Ohio, so I am feeling a little lighthearted.  I have been thinking about the political season thus far.  Since January I have attended a lot of political rallies.  Not just Obama; I have been to Clinton, Edwards, Kucinich, McCain and Romney rallies.  Outside of the content, I am a little bored with the style of American politics.  Particularly,  I am bored with the candidates’ choice of rally music.  I have started thinking about what a hip-hop soundtrack would sound like for the 2008 Elections.

Here are my top picks:

Obama campaign theme--- Jay-Z  “American Dreamin”

Obama to Biden---Outkast “So Fresh, So Clean”

Black America to Tavis Smiley---Ludacris  “Move. Get out the Way” (the clean version!)

Michelle to Barack---Rihanna “Umbrella”

HRC campaign theme---Queen Latifah “Ladies First”

HRC to the critics:---Mary J. Blige “Take Me As I Am”

Bill to Hillary:---Method Man and Mary J. “You’re All I Need”

Hillary to Bill:---Beyonce. "Ring the Alarm"

McCain to Huckabee:---DMX "Make me lose my mind"

Huckabee Campaign song.--- Kanye West. "Jesus Walks"

So  Marc, how would you DJ the great American political party?
