Campaign tunes not so simple in campaigns by Ellen Wulfhorst (Reuters)Choosing a theme song for a political campaign may sound fun but can produce plenty of sour notes. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's online quest for help in picking a campaign song is evoking responses good and bad, in a reminder that the wrong tune can bring legal woes and embarrassing moments, experts say. "This is a mistake waiting to happen," said Andrew Polsky, presidential historian and political science professor at Hunter College in New York. "Some campaign adviser who cooked up this scheme may be updating his resume if it blows up in her face."
Using videos posted on the YouTube Web site, Clinton has asked viewers to vote for a campaign song, with the winner to be picked soon. More than 130,000 votes have been cast since mid-May, the campaign said. The finalists are "Suddenly I See," by K.T. Tunstall, "Rock This Country!" by Shania Twain, "Beautiful Day" by U2, "Get Ready" by The Temptations and Smash Mouth's cover of the Neil Diamond song "I'm a Believer." - complete story
