Who says pop music doesn't have an impact on Presidential politics? Across the street from City Hall yesterday, this mother-loving Hillary Clinton supporter was singing his candidate to victory in a lilting Caribbean voice over a pre-recorded steel drum rhythm, "Don't betray your Mama," he sang, "Vote against Obama."
Later on, both candidates clung to white male symbols of working class populism. Clinton took to the stage for her victory speech at the Bellevue to Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down." Obama geared up for the battle of Indiana with Chevy salesman John "This Is Our Country" Mellencamp in his corner.
