If the candidates were Bob Dylan songs

"Master's of War" would be the obvious choice for John Sidney McCain III. I can envision Obama singing it to McCain at the next debate.

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

Choosing just one song for Palin proved to be quite the challenge, but in the end, I decided to go with "Idiot Wind."

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth,
Blowing down the backroads headin' south.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

Although "With God on Our Side" is the constant cluck cluck of the sky-is-falling conservative christian rapture rhetoric, the first few lines of the song suit Obama just fine. "Changing of the Guards" is also apt.

With God On Our Side

Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest

Changing Of The Guards

Gentlemen, he said,
I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.

Peace will come
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
Between the King and the Queen of Swords.

For Joe Biden,

Up To Me

Everything went from bad to worse, money never changed a thing,
Death kept followin', trackin' us down, at least I heard your bluebird sing.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy,
I know you're long gone,
I guess it must be up to me.

If I'd thought about it I never would've done it, I guess I would've let it slide,
If I'd lived my life by what others were thinkin', the heart inside me would've died.
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity,
Someone had to reach for the risin' star,
I guess it was up to me.

What Dylan song do you think best represents the candidates?
