I love the sound of music. No, I don't mean the musical (although, I do enjoy seeing Julie Andrews signing about the hills every now and then). What I'm talking about is the music of campaigns. I'm sure we have all been to rally after rally and heard the same songs over and over. They become an important way to get everyone excited and energized.
One of the best parts, though, is when candidates pick their "theme song." For Bill Clinton, it was Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop." For Al Gore, it was BTO's "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet." For John Kerry, it was Bruce Springsteen's "No Surrender." These songs all seem to fight the candidates in some way and really help tell people something about the campaign.
What will the theme be for the Democratic candidates? According to CNN, Senator Clinton is allowing visitors to her website to vote on what her campaign theme song will be. She lists options such as KT Tunstall, Shania Twain, and Smashmouth, among others, on her website.

I'm sure she is just the first of many candidates who will be allowing supporters to help pick a theme song. I'm anxious to see what she goes with, as well as the other candidates.
Maybe someone will go with one of my favorites: "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey. If they do, that may help me make up my mind in who to support. After all, I do love the sound of music.

I'm a fan of Yellowcard's "One Year, Six Months." That's about how long this campaign is going to be!
