At some recent John McCain campaign rallies, John Mellencamp's "Our Country" and "Pink Houses" have been booming out over the speakers. Uplifting heartland rock must have seemed like a smart pick, but there's just one problem: Mellencamp is an ardent Democrat. And, until recently, he supported John Edwards - who had been playing "Our Country" and "Small Town" at his rallies. Mellencamp hasn't yet made a public response, but his reps are quietly reaching out to McCain and asking him to stop playing his tunes. (McCain's press office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)

They can play whatever they want! Probably downloaded from i-tunes just like everyone else.

So just because McCain is a Republican doesn't mean he can't reach across the aisle and join hands in bipartisanship (meaning republicans get stabbed in the back) and come to a consensus!

Hey J "C" M - if I were you I'd get on the train - it's headed for the White House
