The Best Political Campaign Analysis (in song)

All good political campaigns are like a story–they have a beginning, middle and end. Fortunately we are in that last bit of the cmapign stories of our Senate and Gubernatorial races.  The days of mailers and lawn signs are soon to end, but the lack of fun in these races is such a huge turnoff that maybe we need some campaign soundtrack mojo. In song. To keep the load times to a minium, I’m not going to embed the videos, but here’s my analysis of the campaigns thus far:

Linda McMahon

Take a Chance On Me-ABBA
One Way Or Another-Blondie
Can’t Buy Me Love-The Beatles

Dick Blumenthal

Careless Memories- Duran Duran
Slip Sliding Away -Paul Simon
A View To A Kill-Duran Duran

Dan Malloy

I Will Survive- Gloria Gaynor
Change The World-Eric Clapton
Every Day I Write The Book-Elvis Costello

Tom Foley

Who Are You-The Who
Tom Sawyer- Rush
Upside Down- Diana Ross

Never breaking stride, Malloy makes candidacy official.

One week ago today, Dan Malloy officially became a candidate for Governor.
