This is a must see. Remember the 1991 song by Sophie B. Hawkins, "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover?" Go refresh yourself if you need to. I remember the cool beat, and I remember thinking "Are you allowed to say 'damn' on the radio?" I guess so.
Do you ever wish people could just leave those memories alone? Well, Sophie B. Hawkins had to go and jack it all up by putting together this tragic remake for Hillary's campaign, "Damn, I Wish You Were President." True story. Honestly, if I were Hillary and this is the kind of things people did to support me, I would cry after every primary too. Don't miss the chance to buy your "Damn, I Wish You Were President" T-shirt. Ugh.
Damn. I wish she never made this.

Someone should have advised against this...
Just like this as well, in case you didn't see it:

ha ha. aha ha HA!
Hysterically baaaad. RETURN to the "where are they now" file from whence you came...
In Britain, there was a cheesy hit song by teen pop idol (lower case) D:Ream (yes, the colon is part of the trademark) "Things can only get better" which was used by the Labour Government to celebrate their coming to power. The song was about 4 years old at the time and was much derided by the pop culture of the time. Added to that the sight of overweight, suited politicians jiving along to it in a halfhearted way at the "after election party" as the song was performed live...an unsavoury juxtaposition of bad and badder.
So what artist endorsement do you think would rock the vote for any candidate?
Certainly Chuck Norris for Huckabee was a stylish endorsement.

Vomitous mass called musical support. May I have a napkin please? I think I just vomitted on myself. This is incredibly evil. I wish this woman was ding something useful with her time - like I am, wasting it commenting on some trash like this (and cleaning myself up afterwards).
I say go - the money and effort that went into this clip alone is worth Hillary winning. Bring it on I say (extreme tongue in cheek that has just punctured my face from the inside.
