The bipartisan Van Halen

From Todd Leopold, CNN.com

You'd think Republicans and Democrats wouldn't be able to agree on much in the way of music. Democrats, judging from performers at the Democratic convention and various rallies, are hip-hop and '60s baby boomer; Republicans are country and light rock.

But one band has produced music to satisfy both sides, notes CNN's David De Sola: Van Halen.

The Kerry campaign used the group's song "Right Now" at the Democratic convention in late July (and continues to use the song at campaign rallies). Tonight, the Republicans trotted out Van Halen's 1984 hit "Jump" to introduce skydiving former President George H.W. Bush.

However, they're still divided on one thing: lead singers. "Right Now" was a Sammy Hagar-sung tune; "Jump" is from the David Lee Roth era.

I thought Kerry used "Dreams"?

By the way, Bush used "Right Now" in 2000.

The lesser evils...

I wonder if the Kerry campaign is aware of the Chedmaster's $2000 donations to the BCE?

[Figs]

Yeah, Kerry did use "Dreams"

[John Ashcroft]

Heh heh heh... So let's apply a little thought to this whole ordeal...

Republicans prefer Dave era Van Halen

Dems prefer Spammy.

Clearly Conservatives are the "thinkers" of the two groups.

And the Nader people are trying at this very moment to secure the rights to a Cherone song........

if they can think of one

Then why is the Ched Rocker a GOP donor?

Kerry used the wrong Van Hagar song. He should have used "Best of Both Worlds" - one world where he can vote for something and another world where he can vote against that same thing
