New Hampshire Primary "Victory" Songs!

Watching the various "victory" speeches after the New Hampshire primary - since no one, not even Mike Gravel "lost", I was intrigued by the choice of "fade out" music by the various candidates. What can we make of the following:

  • Hillary Clinton. "American Girl" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
  • Barack Obama. "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" by Stevie Wonder
  • John Edwards. "Our Country" by John Mellencamp
  • Mitt Romney. "Dirty Water" by the Standells (my vote for oddest choice! What are we to make of his choice of a song about breaking college curfews by frustrated 1960 coeds!?!?!)
  • John McCain. (Didn't catch his)

I was just googling for this..I didn't hear McCain's either, but Bill Richardson also did Tom Petty - I won't back down.
