I think the perfect song for the Dean campaign should be
"We Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who
It goes along with his message so perfectly. I just listened to it and it would be perfect. What do you other Dean supporters think?

3. Stand, by Sly and the Family Stone
Stand
In the end you'll still be you
One that's done all the things you set out to do

Stand
There's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere

Stand
For the things you know are right
It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight

Stand
All the things you want are real
You have you to complete and there is no deal

Stand
You've been sitting much too long
There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong

Stand
There's a midget standing tall
And the giant beside him about to fall

Stand
They will try to make you crawl
And they know what you're saying makes sense and all

Stand
Don't you know that you are free
Well at least in your mind if you want to be

Everybody
Stand, stand, stand

10. Another good choice
I always liked Sly & the Family Stone too.
I am going to get out my old vinyl and have a listen. Thanks for reminding me.

11. You should be used to it
Dean doesn't get credit for some of his ideas either:)

7. "Won't Get Fooled Again" was BUSH'S campaign song in 2000.
I'd go with "Healing Hands" by Marc Cohn, but I feel as though the Kucinich campaign should really base itself totally around a pop song. That pop song? "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding?" by Elvis Costello. Trust me, people would start listening then. Maybe someone should tell Pitt.

Later.

12. Either
"For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield, or maybe "Beautiful" by Christina Aquilera just for the line "Words won't bring us down."
