Republican ditty

The CNN debates began with Chris Nandor from Snohomish, Wash., who sang a funny song about the candidates.
"The grand old party's looking for somebody who can lead, someone who is electable and adheres to our creed. / Some say the group is not diverse; they're white, they're men, but wait. The Dems have just one candidate, Republicans have eight.
Rudy's leading all the polls, but can he win the base? / Mitt changed on abortion; history he can't erase. / Ron Paul would end the FDA and that is just a start. / Fred has just begun to run, but sure does look the part. / Hunter tells us what to do in foreign policy debates. / Huckabee's compassionate and lost a lot of weight. / Tancredo says let's build a fence across the whole Southwest. / McCain is loved by many and hated by the rest.
We don't know who we're voting for; we don't know who will win. That's why we use YouTube to ask our questions of these men. / Time is short, we're voting soon, and I just thought I'd mention. If we don't reach consensus, then we'll decide at convention."
