Which Candidate Will Be Singing This Song? ... And Give A 'Shout Out' To Colin Powell

Maybe, we should launch a class-action law suit, perhaps a massive "Bait-and-Switch" charge.

After all, with the states, one-by-one, clawing and climbing over each other, to place their states' primary on the front end of the schedule, so "their citizens" can have a voice, for their vote to count.

Well, bust-my-buttons, it hasn't quite worked out that way, has it.

After all the votes from today are counted, it is all-but-certain, neither party will have a confirmed nominee, via the delegate count.

And just think, if this was just regular, old Super Tuesday, as opposed to it being Super-Duper Tuesday, we all may have had time to celebrate Colin Powell's 5th anniversary, of his legendary appearance at the United Nations, selling the war, that, up until a week, or so, ago, was the focal point of this primary season.

A Tiny Revolution has a great post up - Lie After Lie: What Exactly Colin Powell Knew Five Years Ago Today, And What He Told The World - that you should check out (and go to Days of Shame for a Powellpalooza of links).

But we digress.

No doubt, as the results roll in this evening, they are oiling, buffing and firing up the Spin Machines and, despite their best efforts, there will be some long faces (check out Barry Crimmins for a priceless photo of Mike Huckabee), some disappointed hopes.

And for those candidates, we have a song.

Put on your Mamas And The Papas' caps and sing along ...

Super Tuesday

Super Tuesday, was it good to me,
Super Tuesday, was it all I hoped it would be
Oh Super Tuesday, Tuesday morning couldn't guarantee
That Super Tuesday evening you would still vote for me.

Super Tuesday, can't trust that day,
Super Tuesday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Super Tuesday, you gave me no warning of what was to be
Oh Super Tuesday, how could you not give the votes to me.

Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Super Tuesday comes, but whenever Super Tuesday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time

Super Tuesday, was it so good for me,
Super Tuesday, was it all I hoped it would be
Oh Super Tuesday , Tuesday morning couldn't guarantee
That Super Tuesday evening you would still still vote for me

Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Super Tuesday comes, but whenever Super Tuesday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time

Super Tuesday, ...
