McCain Makes Pitch For Clinton Voters...With ABBA Video

In a (somewhat?) tongue-in-cheek pitch for disaffected Hillary Clinton voters, the official John McCain campaign blog today posted an item that professed the Arizona Senator's love of All Things ABBA, along with a YouTube video of the Swedish pop sensation's 1977 hit "Take A Chance On Me."

You can head over to the McCain Report to check out the post. A screengrab is below.

Watch the ABBA video below:

So McCain is saying a vote for him would be taking a chance. Sounds like a great slogan.

[GalaxieGal]

I thought he tried using one of their songs month ago and they made him stop.

I think his only musical choice is Ted Nugget and Cat Scratch Geezer.

[jpopphan]

I think that the other song you're referring to was by Bruce Springsteen.

I just wonder how long it will take ABBA to send a cease and desist letter to the McCain campaign to have them pull the video and all references to their intellectual property from the McCain website. I rather think that ABBA would be opposed to most everything that McSame stands for.

[GalaxieGal]

I thought it happened right after the Springsteen incident. It could have been another candidate tho.

I hope the cease and desist letter is on his fax as I type this.

[demigod]

He was using John Mellencamp's Little Pink Houses without permission, and John, who is a progressive, asked him to stop.

This guy John McCain is planning to take us back to the '40's.

[wndrwrthg]

I could handle the forties, it's mcinsanes fantasy world that scares me.

[rainey]

What!? He's switched from "Bomb Iran" to the tune of "Barbara Ann"?

When he gets a release for a Bruce Springsteen song I'll consider him.

[closetodemfection]

HA. Brilliant move!

Mamma Mia the musical has made over 2 billion worldwide. It's target audience? Women, 45 and older.

The new swing vote is the Mamma Mia Democrats!

The 70's? Good job, McCain. Way to really connect with the kids.

[lisakaz2]

To him, they ARE the kids...

Sorry senator, this country does not have the luxury nor can we afford to "take a chance" on another Republican president. You can thank our current Republican president for your lose again.
it seems like Senator McCain missed the memo from American people, it was titled "Vote for Change" not "Vote for chance". What we are looking for is Change not chance senator.

[TheShadow]

Personally I was glad he didn't choose any songs from the German band "Kraftwerk".

[ConnectTheDots]

"Take a Chance on Me?" seriously? I would've pegged McCain's song as "Waterloo."

au revoir peu général

[Cramus]

McCain has an image of toe nail fungus. He presents as incredably hollow. There defenately is a generation gap. In addition, I think he might even have difficulty connecting in a nursing home. He can't even play the wise old guy very well. He does good on the Daily Show, but I guess because it's fake news. I guess I just don't take him very seriously anymore. I feel good when I listen to Obama. I feel flat when I listen to McCain. I ask myself.............. If I was stuck in a fox hole, under fire, with McCain or with Obama to lead me out, who would I feel more confident with? I'll take Obama. Forty years ago, I might of thought differently, but in 2008....................I'll take Obama!

[Viper]

Well, its better than listening to McCain give a speech... of course so is eating rusty nails.

Pretty soon,it's gonna be the Lennon Sisters.

Man,I miss those gals...

[homas]

I can't believe how "with it" and "cool" McGramps is. This is just too funny!

[Obama08Supporter]

He is not cool, it is his younger staff putting together something, anything to draw an audience. Cool, he can'th keep his cool now or ever. Wait until the day both OBama and McCain are on stage togehter and Obama push his buttons, the entire world will see him lose his cool.

[marthlois]

OMG - I'm 59 and I love ABBA. How dare he bring them down like this? :-)
The next thing we'll hear is that he makes intermission appearances at
the theater wine bar to meet and greet Broadway theater-goer's:):) On second
thought - pre-theater greetings as he probably doesn't stay up late enough for
intermission. EEEEEKK!!

[thegabeman]

Andy sang this song in the office. Quite hilarious that this song is coming up again.
