This campaign season has been one of the longest ever.
Have trouble keeping the candidates straight?
So do we.
Here's
a musical guide to some of this year's contenders, past and present.
Hillary Clinton.
Hillary has made her own way to perhaps become the
first woman in White House. Except for one little problem.
Mike Huckabee.
Could a governor from Arkansas ever be taken seriously for the White House?
Mike Huckabee took the top spot in Iowa, but that big guy
he's been counting on hasn't delivered enough wins since then.
Barack Obama.
Barack Obama is the Democrat's new star this
time around, and he's still going strong.
Obama is now the other man in Hillary's life.
And wishing won't make him go away, either.
John McCain.
The Arizona Republican has made a remarkable comeback.
When his fortunes and popularity faltered last summer,
we had just about written him off.
The Also-Rans.
The campaign season began with lots of new faces
in the first election since 2000 without an incumbent.
A few of them have made their message heard, while the rest
will fade back into the obscurity of the Senate, the House, etc.

Mitt Romney.
The former governor of liberal Massachusetts has
been remaking himself as the most conservative of
the GOP candidates. Neat trick.
John Edwards.
John Edwards brought his populist message, his
two Americas, and his fabulous haircuts to
challenge the Democratic frontrunners.
John McCain.
The Arizona Republican has made a remarkable comeback.
When his fortunes and popularity faltered last summer,
we had just about written him off.

Rudy Giuliani.
"America's Mayor" started strong, but eventually voters
tuned out the one and only real theme of his campaign.
Fred Thompson.
Actor, politician, actor, politician.
Now that Fred's leaving a role once again,
will he go back to acting?
