Pop Rocks: Songs In The Key Of [Presidential] Fail

Page 2 of 4

Jon Huntsman - "As I Am," Dream Theater

How can you not like this guy? He's an avowed prog rock fan who declared a "Dream Theater" day for the state of Utah (June 30, 2007...hey, that's today!), For the candidate still at odds with the conservative wing of his party over his (formerly) moderate stance on civil unions and climate change, consider this his plea to those delegates still on the fence.

Sarah Palin - "Head Like A Hole," Nine Inch Nails

Crazy as it sounds, people might be getting sick of the whole "will she/won't she" jerkaround. Buck up, former semi-Governor of Alaska, we'll always have that Katie Couric interview.

Rick Santorum - "The I-95 Song," Fred 'August' Campbell

There's a reason this is the number one hit when you Google "Santorum."
