Hillary Clinton asked users of video sharing site YouTube to help her decide on a campaign theme song – a detail that is, apparently, being debated within her circle of advisors and campaign strategists with the vigor of such seemingly more important calculations as how many votes she needs to cast in lockstep with Barack Obama to negate having voted in favor of authorizing the Iraq war without having bothered to read the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq. 

Hillary posted two videos promoting the contest, which began May 16. The number of songs currently under consideration has been winnowed to 10 – five of which were suggested by the campaign (”Suddenly I See,” KT Tunstall; “Rock This Country!” Shania Twain; “Beautiful Day,” U2; “Get Ready,” The Temptations; and “I’m a Believer,” Smash Mouth) and five of which were write-in candidates (”Are You Gonna Go My Way,” Lenny Kravitz; “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now,” McFadden & Whitehead; “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic,” The Police; “You and I,” Celine Dion; and “The Best,” Tina Turner).

Leaving aside that Hill is not young enough, hip enough or hot enough to be associated with Lenny Kravitz in any way whatsoever, should voter fraud taint the results – a not-unheard of occurrence with political contests supervised by Dems - The Stiletto offers these candidates for the do-over: “This Ain’t No Rag, It’s a Flag,” Charlie Daniels; “God Bless The USA,” Lee Greenwood; and that oldie-but-goodie “Stand By Your Man,” Tammy Wynette.
