That's McCain's new song? I get what they are going for, but doesn't picking a song that is older than many of my friends further reinforce the image of McCain as someone who's old, really old, and whose cultural touchstones are out of date? I guess if what he's going for is trying to win back older voters who've drifted away from him, and reminding people of the McCain brand (veteran, maverick) it makes a certain sense. But it hits on a bit of out-of-touchness too.
