Favorite songs chosen by the Democratic presidential candidates at Tuesday's debate:

Former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun — "You Gotta Be," Des'ree.

Al Sharpton — "Talking Loud, Saying Nothing," James Brown. He called it "James Brown's song about the Republican Party."

Sen. John Edwards (news, bio, voting record) — "Small Town," John Mellencamp.

Sen. John Kerry (news, bio, voting record) — "No Surrender," Bruce Springsteen.

Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (news - web sites) — "Jaspora," Wyclef Jean.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (news - web sites) _"Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow," Fleetwood Mac; "My Way," Frank Sinatra.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (news, bio, voting record) — "Imagine," John Lennon.

Rep. Dick Gephardt (news - web sites) — "Born in the USA," Bruce Springsteen.

Sen. Bob Graham (news, bio, voting record) — "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes," Jimmy Buffett.

Dean lied through his teeth. He couldn't pick Wyclef from 50 cent.

[Green Knight]

Those choices were about as subtle as Al Gore playing football with his family during the recount business and then yelling to the reporters repeatedly "We're winning this game". Wouldn't you like to take a cinderblock to the collective heads of the viewers, while you're at it?

[capydick]

Both gebhard and the Breck Girl were floored by this question. The Breck Girl almost paniced and used Sharpie's answer to laugh and stall for time. gebhard could barely pronounce the title of the song properly. I'd bet monies that he doesnt know that its an anti-US song to boot.

[Shermy]

I'm surprised. I thought Lieberman's was "Yesterday"

[Dan from Michigan]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Red White and Blue"

"if they don't like it they can just...GET THE HELL OUT!!!" (in reference to the America haters)

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

After reading this I think their theme song should be " Give me a Break" by Nell Carter.

[TheBigB]

I believe you mean "fiddy sent".

[Mr. Mojo]

I remember watching him attempt to throw the pigskin a month or two earlier during the campaign, and it was downright embarrassing to watch. He threw like an uncoordinated 6 year old girl.

[Our man in washington]

Note that Kucinich's favorite song is about the rejection of religion, national borders, and private property.

Well, at least he's one Democrat who's honest about what he believes in.

[Brasil]

A real patriot would say, "God Bless America".

[Mr. Mojo]

When I think of the Dems I'm reminded of Pink Floyd's classic song "Sheep" (on the album Animals)

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan and I have seen
Things are not what they seem.

What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream.

George W. Bush....Wake up Little Susie

[judywillow]

You left out Wesley Clark:

Wesley hates the little children,
all the little children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
Wesley kills them all on sight...

Sung to the tune of the old sunday-school song of course...

[B Knotts]

I noticed none of them cited "Free Will," by Rush.

Gore got game......

Clank

[Mr. Mojo]

Slick Willie looks like he has a little style, at least. Gore, otoh, looks like the dude who was always picked dead last in jr. high when choosing basketball teams in P.E. class.

[hole_n_one]

Screwball?.....

[Mr. Mojo]

lol....A little Fernando Valenzula action with the pigskin? Cowher looks like he's laughing at the goofball/screwball.

[Mr. Mojo]

Valenzula = Valenzuela
