MIAMI -- Frank Sinatra crooned "High Hopes" for John F. Kennedy and a version of "Hello Dolly" touted Lyndon B. Johnson's candidacy. Now, Bob Graham wants to add his name to the presidential hit parade.

Coming next week is "The Bob Graham Charisma Tour 2004," a 10-track CD featuring Graham's long-standing campaign song, "We've Got a Friend in Bob Graham," plus a new Latin-beat, Spanish version called "Arriba Bob" and an ode dedicated to his trademark workdays, "I've Done Every Job, Man."

Graham, who also is known for his voluminous logs of his daily activities, does not perform on the CD. But during a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Graham quipped, "I sing not only campaign songs, but also songs which I learned on one of my workdays as an actor." He offered to sing a few bars of "Plant a Radish" from "The Fantasticks."

I've lived under Bob Graham for what seems forever. Govenor, Senator and never worth spit as either. Please Bob, just go away.

Are you sure it was roll out a CD and not OCD?

This man is traveling all over The U.S. as a rabid partisan willing to say anything in order to build up a following while he is being paid to represent Floridians. He should do the honorable thing and resign his seat as Bob Dole did and let someone else fight for Floridians, because he sure has stopped.
