Changing the direction.
The writer came up with a rather negative idea probably inspired by the Governor of New York. The negative song SOS fits quite well. I wanted a positive look. Take a Chance on Me is certainly positive and has a snappy tune that sticks in people's heads. I have long felt that Take a Chance on Me would be a good theme song for the Obama campaign.
The Hillary campaign can have SOS. Bill Clinton became president because he is a clever campaigner and the first President Bush made some serious mistakes.
Right at the end of the Clinton Presidency, he made a mistake which cost Al Gore the election. Clinton's Attorney General sent a military type squad to violently seize Elian Gonzales and sent the child back to Fidel Castro. All of the Cuban-Americans in Florida voted for Bush and given the tightness of the election that was enough to torpedo Al Gore.
What should have been a relatively minor event threw the election. It also made the TV media look stupid.
Do you remember Clinton's Attorney Janet Reno? Saturday Night Live had a lot of fun with her. She always entered by smashing through a wooden panel. Her worst mistake was the carnage at Waco, Texas. She was Clinton's third choice for the position. He wanted her which was his big mistake.
