Electioneering: Obama/McCain Biographical Playlists

We've heard the arguments, endured the pundits, watched the debates, marveled at the winks and gaffes, and it all comes down to today. Election Day. We wouldn't dare wade into the murky waters of proselytizing for one candidate or another, and we won't add on to the already deafening din of people telling you how to vote. But we will try and add a bit of music to the narratives of the two main presidential candidates, Senators Barack Obama and John McCain. Go to the links below to take a musical journey that follows the road these two men have taken up to this historic day, from the Hawaiian music of Obama's youth to the protest songs surrounding McCain's time in the Vietnam War. Enjoy the tunes -- and don't forget to vote!
