This has been the election season for great conservative campaign videos. Dale Peterson pulled no punches as he strut in a video armed with a Winchester, Fiorinas Demon Sheep, and even a weird, off-beat ad from Republican Mattie Fein; a spin on Young Frankenstein.
However, I think Nan Hayworths Young Voters for an Orleans Reunion Tour certainly deserves a spot in the finalist category with their recently released music video Vote with me.
Nan Hayworth is running to unseat John Hall for NYs 19th congressional district. For the many of you who dont remember the 70s, John Hall was the front man for the band Orleans. The group hit it big with song Still the one and Dance with me. Young Voters video is a spoof on Dance with me.
Note to political candidates, snag up young conservatives and get them involved. You wont be sorry.

John Belushi's line from the Blues Brothers comes to mind, "We're putting the band back together." It's so ironic how long ago and far away, John Hall as lead singer of Orleans, as well as his fellow travellers in the music biz would implore "the youth:" to get active, get involved, engage in political discourse, "make a difference", etc. Also back in the day Mr. Hall along with the other usual suspects in music and emtertainment were vociferously opposed to anything involving nuclear power, wether for peaceful purposes or not. Now that Iran is on the fast track to developing a nuclear arsenal of their own, I wonder what Rep Hall's position is? What's that Johnnie boy, I didn't hear you..(sounds of crickets chirping in the background)
Some parts of the 70s you just don't want to remember.
effin brilliant...
That was great!
I fondly remember those songs.
