CNN

We know how Hispanic voted for Billary and that didnt work out, So just tell me what has McSleepy done for Ya'll

NADA

OPEN YOUR BRAINS

McCain is Easy Listening and Obama is Smooth Jazz...

Retirement home ambience

Poor Grampy. His memory is slow, his music is slow.

Maybe they should move up the RNConvention? Obama' s stadium speach is going to be very tough for Mr. leisure world to follow. As MCCain himself joked, maybe he could parachute in and then just have atown hall meeting. Problem is, he ususally doesn't recemember what he said on other occasions or how he voted and he certainly cannot think or respond on his feet. The Viagra spectacle made that very clear.

Hispanic for McCain!!!
=======================================================

I think we've all seen the Holiday Inn Express commercials where after a good nights sleep, the hotel guest does something noteworthy the next day, like perform open heart surgury or land a jumbo jet. With that concept in mind, I think our "Hispanic for McCain" friend here is really just your run of the mill Republican blogger that just got done eating a Gordita and a Soft Taco from Taco Bell...

This clearly isn't a news story but the blogs are certainly entertaining. So....how about these two for McCain?

"Flip Flop Summer" - Kenny Chesnea
"Money" - Pink Floyd

This is great news for Herb Alpert and Pat Boone!!!

Yeah, and that's because he can't talk. Advice to McBush: Turn up your hearing aid way up.

Hispanic for McCain!!!

Do not want to strain those eardrums.

Previous poster jen:
[CNN] Your job is to report the political news not make it!!

That's where you're wrong. CNN's job is NOT to report the news, that's just the tool they use to do their job. Their job is to make money for their advertisers. If making this into a horse race gets ratings, they are expected to do exactly that.

If you want someone whose job is to report the news, listen to public radio.

I got a hold on you" by Lieberman

Mitt Romney makes it clear that he is in a different financial category than you. The thing with rich men is they get what ever they want.
women, money, "high position jobs". Its like another trophy in their cabinet.

McCain is definitely an improvement over Bush. When Bush speaks, I want to bang my head against the wall. When McCain speaks, I just want to take a nap.

The old fart has two feet in the rest home.. as it is!!!

LOL this doesn't scream slanted reporting. Seriously, if you had decency you'd have to fire this reporter CNN.

As for the music, McCain voters aren't 20 year old morons who get swept up in a pretend strategy "hope." Since when has hoping and praying been the way to strategize? Yeah, that's how Napolean took over Europe, he sat down and hoped really really hard. The people at the Obama rallies are just ignorant. I've never seen such a stupid group of people. Wake up everyone, these are politicians! NONE of them have your best interest in mind.

Hahahaa thats fitting!

His speeches put us to sleep too!

is McCain trying to make his supporters feel like they are coming to get a root canal?

Top 5 songs cleared for McCain's campaign.

6. "Money Money Money"- ABBA
5. "Nine to Five" (Except of Weekends)- Dolly Parton
4. "How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" (by using it on Iranians)- U2
3. "Screwed" – Paris Hilton
2. "The Old Man Down the Road"-John Fogerty
1. "Land of Confusion"- Genesis

I don't know what worse: "Eye of the Tiger" and Van Halen or mustic that creates a "quiet, almost drowsy" atmosphere. Glad they had that big campaign shake up!

Such nice soft music along with McCain's speech is what puts everyone to sleep in his events.

Please stop making excuses for McCain by saying "he's out of Touch". He's not out of touch, he's confused.

McCain needs to out there every day, but it is a burden for him.

If he goes out there every day, he will crack under the weight of the demanding campaign burden. I feel sorry for the man.

No more repubs this year.

Obama 08 & 12.

What's so unusual about that type of music?

I would say it's perfect for a retirement home where Mc Cain should be headed considering his lack of inconsistency, coherency, and memory on how he voted.

This is the type of reporting that will help win the election for Obama. How many times can CNN report that McCain is old. We get it. Now you need to put this garbage in our faces. Why????....Then at the end of the article comes the "oh yeah he does play some rock songs, but we are going to bury this information at the end of the article so our readers can take away that John McCain is an old fogy that loves to listen to old fogy easy listening music." You can't even read the last paragraph unless you click on read the full article. Who cares about the issues, McCain is too old to be president and CNN is letting us know that this should be the most important issue of the election. What a shame. If I were a Republican, I'd be livid.

Nice stuff CNN. Keep up the good work....Obama will be president soon enough, and he'll have you to thank!

I'm a straight ahead person myseslf. But Prince and Madonna are cool to listent to also.
I'm hoping that Sting's "Brand New Day" is something that Senator Obama uses for his acceptance night music.

I know deep down, McCain listens to Slayer!!!!!!!!

To most of us in other parts of this universe,this American election is one of the most important things in the whole world. We want to see a strong America again. An America that we can respect and emulate. pls do not vote for those war mongers that have no respect for your constitution and human rights and have made you to resemble our 3rd world country. Thank you in advance America, for giving us President Barak Obama. The U.S.A & the world needs him.

Hey CNN,

Could we focus on the issues more? I know you make more money when the race is close, but please, be good Americans and focus on facts, not these silly little stories.

I mean seriously, this is like totally High School.

This is relevant how?

John McCain just won his parties nomination a few decades too late. He is outdated, not that music selection shows his skill as president but why put on music that makes you fall asleep when you are running a campaign that is supposed to get people excited about voting for you.

A vote for McCain is a vote to put this entire country to sleep for the next 4 years and we can’t afford that. Lets all Barack the vote in 2008!!!

This man's day has come and gone. He's simply not presidential. It's an energy and vision deficit, not just an age thing. Does he inspire? No. Does he present as a dynamic leader? No. Does he propose anything new to address the problems facing the U.S.? No.
Just an honorable has been put forward by the RNC to bear their sad standard in the latest presidentla race.

He's old–He's out of touch with Reality -He can't remember what he say's–the perfect President for this country.. He's not like Bush–he's worse.

Funny May from Arizona heard about him having health issues–we're hearing it here in NYC too. Word is he's out by Sept.

cnn how about putting this on–stop editing everything

C'mon, McCain...Wake Up & Spice it Up!!!

CNN your so bias for McCain, and it is so apparent you are becoming a bigger joke in the industry then Fox News. Your deep seated obsession with Obama's and Clinton's relationship is simply an attempt to stir up the fires to give McCain an opening. You should be reporting McCains lies and difficulties. Your job is to report the political news not make it!!

McCain is just lowering expectations in advance, that's all. After all the elevator music, his speeches are exciting by comparison.

Do we really want Mr. Obama forgetting his lines when he meets with leaders at the G8 and NATO summits? What if he vacillates and suggests two or three courses of action, or just goes along with the group-would that be wise–or acceptable?

The President–needs to be able to formulate strategies and government direction on his own–then execute the strategy. He may rely on input, and suggestions.

Do either of these two guys appear decisive or explicit enough in their views and goals to fill the office?

My answer–NO>

Libertarian–2008

We need to return to the principles that made our nation great and remove the citizens from the stranglehold of the Republican and Democratic Parties.

First he calls us whiners and says that we are in a mental recession. Then he says he meant leaders were whiners, not Americans ( a lie), but stands by his recession comment. Then in an interview with The Washington Times, Gramm then says that "Technically, a "recession" is two straight quarters of negative growth; so technically, we may in fact not be in a recession. Or we might, but don't yet know it." He is a top Economic advisor for MCCain, but doesn't speak for him. Now McCain admits he knows nothing about the economy. This is a sad state of affairs.

He needs to listen to something, because he is obviously not listening to the American people, economist and the rest of the world.
Maybe listening to music will cause him to stop talking, since everytime he opens his mouth he either sticks his foot in it or stammers like a runaway jack hammer. I have never seen any one running for office look so pathetic, uninformed and incapable of a single consistant thought.

i figured lawerence welk.

John McCain

Pro Choice
Pro Military
Love of Country

My mix from Pandora that I'm listening to now consists of light jazz and easy listening. It helps me relax as I read from the idiot script I can always find here. Great play on the Mc "fill in the blank". Real talented bunch. Skills you'll need when you emerge from your mothers basement and face the reality of the real world.

Good luck with that.

McCain/08

No worries. If McCain wins, the country will be run from the VP seat. Just like the last 7 years. McCain doent have to think or listen.

Oh man, that McCain isn't cool at all; he's not a rock star like Obama. I only vote for cool and hip presidents. That's what really important, not the issues, but coolness, and NASCAR, and more coolness!!!!

If McCain's rallies are perceived as boring, that could very well be a negative for his campaign. You know how people are in modern society with 30-second commercials and short attention spans – they need something catchy and exciting and attention-getting. So I don't know how easy listening is going to work out for him. Bill Clinton's theme song "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" in 1992 was a plus for him at the time. It may be superficial but little things like this really do make a difference.

And I sure wish to GOD that people would just knock it off with the stupid geritol and metamucil jokes, and this "grandpa is taking a nap" crap on one side, and all the absurd, hateful things that are said about Obama and his family on the other side. This is not real political dialogue; it's just an elementary school playground. Some people here are hypocrites who don't like personal attacks on their own candidate, but have no problem making personal attacks on another candidate. They are hypocrites who want others to leave Michelle Obama alone, but have no problem going to town on Cindy McCain, and vice-versa. Six-year-olds on all sides. It makes me want to puke to think that people like this are allowed to vote.

This is not news. What about McCain joking about the best ways to kill the Iranians? This is the type of rhetoric you should be posting news stories about. Why does a normal citizen like me need to tell you how to be journalists and report on things that are important to the American people? We have a war monger on our hands and you are worried about his music selections. I expect much better from CNN. Especially in the section called "Political Ticker".

McCain needs a free rock concert before he speaks and he could draw 75,000 people. Wonder who will preform in Denver? I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballot in November. I don't like either of the current choices..

Mcbush is Old and it show everytime he opens his mouth Mcbush is a Dinosaur in a DIgital World

McSame ........Proably listen to.... Ain't that Ashame OR You LIED YOU Cheated!!!

Maybe McCain is trying to lull the American public to sleep, because quite frankly the only place John McCain can be an effective leader is in our wildest dreams.

"We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun..."

Or, hey, how 'bout "Someone left the cake out in the rain, and I don't think I can take it, 'cuz it took so long to bake it, and I don't think I'll ever have that recipie again!"

Whatever he's playing, McCain is waltzing off quietly into the sunset. Never gonna be president. Never.

Hey, give the guy a break. He's entitled to listen to what ever kind of music he wants to. Besides, today's easy listening tunes were top forty hits back in his day.

All of you people who have problems with McCain should remember, it's all just mental. You're just a bunch of whiners in a nation of whiners.

You're half asleep waiting on him to come and he finished the job within 5 minutes into his speech. I've noticed that when he is on I get sleepy – gosh, if I were there in person I would fall into the person sitting next to me lap. lol

PLEASE POST CNN!

Oh brother, CNN! IS THIS REALLY NEWS? PLEASE, you are the ones who will inform the voters, who will keep the issues front and center...... who cares what McCain listens to?

Someone should liven up these meetings by asking about Peabody Coal and the Navajo Nation. Does Senator McCain show his patriotism by enabling the destruction of the original Americans by his relationship with special interests group (and top supporter) Peabody Coal. Talk about disrespecting your nation.

Can't wait for debates.....Obama 08

[TO MIKE THE INDEPENDENT]............YES I GIVE MONEY TO OBAMA AND RUN MY OWN BUSINESS SO I HAVE LOTS OF TIME TO BLOG. SO WHAT IS YOUR COME BACK........

McBoring...McSleepy...McSnooze...McGoo...Mc Isn't time for him to retire yet?

I hear McCain is planning to resign in August for health reasons and allow another GOP nominee, probably Romney to face Obama in Nov.

You've got to be kidding me. This clown's such a joke. Let's all take a nap now

With the mellow music you'll be able to hear McCain banging on the microphone better. That ought to keep people awake.

At a time when the American electorate is furious, especially due to his Republican economy, McCain waltzes on stage to easy listening music...and smiles. This guy is unreal!

HOW ABOUT VOTING FOR THE SMARTEST GUY ? OBAMA..........

The music is appropriate given the lack of excitement generated by his campaign.

If John McCain gets more than five votes of folks not in AARP, it really will be big news.

After McCain's long pause after the viagra/birth control question and Gramm's "nation of whiners" comment and now this, the comic relief just writes itself.

My 102 year old great, great auntie told me this weekend that McCain seems, in her words, "way too old to be President". She's got thirty years on him and a whole lot more common sense.

MCBUSH CAN USE THAT MUSIC TO CALM HIS NERVES.

HE CAN CALM OUR NERVES BY GOING AWAY, WITH

HIS ECONOMIC ADVISERS.

WE NEED REAL SOLUTIONS & OUR TAXES TO BE USED

FOR AMERICANS, NOT HIS LOBBYISTS & THE IRAQIS.

easy listening music. It sounds like John McCain needs his
"metamucil"

I'd like to hear some diversity myself...oh my bad I forgot about the will i am tune :::pause:::

I'd like to hear some diversity myself.

Excellent choice in music, John!!!! I've always thought that Lawrence Welk and Zamfir (Master of the Pan Pipe) never got the recognition they deserved! Nothing like a couple of hours of the Champagne Orchestra (Welk's band) to stop your heart cold.

Jeesh, between the whiney no-energy way he gives his speeches, and his choice in music, the Republican National Convention will just show a convention center full of napping people when it's televised....

Wake me up, when November ends....

How fitting, he changes his music that got people actually semi-focused to drowsy, lullabye music that will knock the people out. He better be careful or he himself could fall asleep while talking to people.

Why not pick the candidate who is the more charismatic and exciting?
Isn't that the most important criterion for choosing our next president?
Yea, who cares about character, judgment and leadership?
So old-fashioned.

Nation of whiners love good music.

I thought that his campaign song was "The Old Gray Mare." Age has to be an issue!

What? No Lawrence Welk and his champagne orchestra?

A one anna two...

He can't think if the music is upbeat. Too much brain power.

Muzak????

Haven't heard that word in YEARS!

Elevator music in the days when there were elevator operators. For those under 60: people used to operate elevators. Really! they manually closed the doors and, in the department stores, announced what was on each floor, i.e. Third Floor – Children's Clothing; Fourth Floor – housewares,

Hello? Hello? Did you just fall asleep? Are you awake? Hello?

You Obamabots who are taking this opportunity to insult McCain and call him a loser are far and away the lowest form of life on this planet; it's about his campaign songs, are you that pathetic, do any of you even have jobs or contribute anything of value to society? My guess is probably not.

Surpised he isn't using the Hit Parade songs from the 1930s. Benny Goodman could really belt out a tune, and how. You know, McCain's so old that the Big Band Era kind of suits him.

I've heard that this type of music is used in anger-management cases. Results are hit or miss...

As if his speeches weren't "draggy" enough. I enjoy easy listening very much, but I think he needs anything that will perk him up a little.
This probably won't post-most don't-guess because I'm an Obama supporter.

This could help explain why only 35% of republicans are enthusiastic than usual about voting in this year’s election.

Democratic voters are excited about Barack Obama; Republicans kept wondering if someone new might throw their hat into the ring.

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !

Thanks McCain for putting us to bed one more time. Just shows you and your campaign refuse to move on with time. You're still stuck in the Renaissance!

Shwing your age much McBush? Still living in the past like the Rethuglicans? I think so.....

the only excitement in mcbushes campaigns is when he gets heckled.

Muzak and Geritol...Perfect for nappy-time....

He's so out of touch. America, please wake up (no pun intended) and vote Obama in 08! Obama is very well educated (Harvard), has great family values (Married 15 years with two adorable daughters), and has the judgment and integrity (not to mention international integrity) needed to take this country into a NEW and POSITIVE direction. The rest of the world sees this, why can't some of us?

Vote OBAMA in 08!

the music sets the mood,then mcbush's speeches put the final touches on ,and everyone falls asleep.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

keep quiet, grandpa's sleeping.

Funny how Barrack won't take McCain up on the town hall debates. He does not want to do anything to blow his lead. He will meet with Iran and any of our enemies, yet he won't debate McCain. Hmmmmm.

We've had a UGLY guy in office for 8 years. I please not another one!

Obama 08

Well, if listening to McCain speak doesn't lull you to sleep, his music will.

McCain actually listens to and understands the lyrics of U2?

McCain and U2....seems pretty oxymoronic.

The music isn't really important except that it is indicative of the other areas where McCain isn't with the rest of the country, except for the older people. I'm 58 and not thinking like he does, thank goodness. He won't learn to use a computer. I just think his mindset is not with newer opportunities in the world and will crank back to his comfort zone. We need a president with an open mind. That's Obama.

Listening to him speak and wave those arms up and down makes me want to remove all my eyelashes one by one. this guy is a serious SNOOZE.

I think the music fits his prescence. He would need to bound onto the stage like a 46 year old rock star if more contemporary music were played.

Give the guy a break.

How is this of any importance? Is this Friday that dull, that there's nothing else to report on?!

Who cares

GLOBAL WARMING -was all in our head, according

to bush & mcbush

OUR ECONOMIC WOES, YOU KNOW THE PRICE AT THE

PUMP & THE FOOD MARKETS-–all in our head according

to the mcbush senior ECONOMIC adviser.

Man this article made me sleep. I bet a McCain rally brings a lot for change.

HaHa I LOVE CNN!!

MCCAIN PUTS ME TO SLEEP. TO OLD ....NOT SMART ENOUGH.......AND NO GOVERNING SKILLS . PAINFUL TO WATCH HIM COMMUNICATE. BUT HE STILL WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT.

Loooooooser!!!!!

please WAKE ME WHEN this is over......pleaseeee

Paul Anka style I suppose.... Sinatra. They both did it their way, much like John McCain....

they really are copying more and more seems to me mccains pathetic messed up campaign agrees obama is brillant and winning and running a great campaign now they are trying to follow suit this is just too sad dont even have their own ideas that they have to copy off the opponenet funny funny funny

they should do the opposite, play loud rock and roll music to wake up those 300 souls waiting for mc c to start his pathetic speeches and run out as fast as they can, after all, they got paid in advance to attend LMAO

...the house music was a steady repetition of muzak, creating a quiet, almost sleepy atmosphere for the voters gathered at Portsmouth High School.

Well that's ok. The voters will finally have the chance to fall asleep before McCain's speech instead of during it.

This isn't REALLY news, in that it only points to the contrasts between these campaigns.

But it is really, REALLY LOL- funny!!!!

did anyone see his response to the Viagra v birth control question aboard his double talk express...this dude is soooooo out there. he has no idea what he is doing or saying most times.
he should be playing the death march or Taps at his rallies

JAN FROM BOCA RATON- Enough….Hillary is gone, she will be gone in 2012 also. Do you actually think in 2012 people are going to contribute to a person that can not run a proper campaign and can't even close to Obama in contributions? Jan, your an old and tired lady that lives in her own little world. Just be glad you retired and in Florida sitting in your cool comfortable house in Boca Raton and leave us alone you close minded bat of a woman. Maybe not everyone thinks like you, did you ever think about that?

Elevator muzak was because McBush was backstage NAPPING:)

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Time for McSleepy's nap.

Almost sleepy? Well yeah give the guy a break he's 72. Those over-played 80's songs have gotta go though. Reagan years are long gone.
