Some people say it’d be too hard summarize this election

The issues and events all in this tiny section

The ups, the downs, the highs, the lows, and everyone who ran

To those who say we can’t, I say YES WE CAN!

They started many months ago campaigning and fund raising

The things they’d say to get your vote were really quite amazing

“Experience is what you need!” No wait, maybe its change

The candidates we had to choose from encompassed quite a range

The GOP began with Giuliani as the fave

The “mayor of America” was smart and strong and brave

But experts say he ran the worst campaign of their lives

He wound up with fewer delegates than he did ex-wives

The handsome Mitt Romney then was named the best

With right wing values and ideas, and a burly hairy chest

But when the primaries started, voters were full of hope

That their nominee would not look like a doctor from a Soap

When Huckabee won Iowa, it changed the race a lot

Did this unknown religious nut really have a shot?

He could not keep the momentum, though his name was fun to say

Even Chuck Norris couldn’t take Mike to Election Day

So John McCain took the lead and the nomination

He surged ahead from nowhere to win the invitation

Without a lot of money, but his campaign resurrected

Could the old man from Arizona be the one elected?

Over on the Dem side, it was a 3 horse race

Despite what Kucinich said from his weirdo face

A young southern gentleman, a woman strong and proud

An African American who could really work a crowd

Edwards was the first to go despite expensive hair

The former VP nominee just didn’t have the flair

He later had a scandal that surpassed any others

Turns out when candidates kissed babies, John Edwards kissed their mothers

So Hilary and Obama then gave us quite a ride

Obama played basketball, Hilary drank shots and cried

Husband Bill got angry, Oprah picked her Dem

Clinton asked if Barack could talk at 3 AM

It became more and more clear that Hilary couldn’t win it

So the party kept on asking why she was still in it

She finally dropped out and we had the winner

A young charismatic senator, a political beginner

So now began the fun part, Obama vs McCain

There was enough campaigning to drive the press insane

Obama was a Muslim, and didn’t wear a pin

McCain was way too old, and owning many houses was a sin

To be his Vice President, Obama picked Joe Biden

A long time politician, but not very exciting

McCain on the other hand, really caused a scene

When he chose a hunting, pretty, maverick beauty queen

Here came Sarah Palin, the folksy hockey mom

Always cute and funny, always cool and calm

But she got burned by Katie Couric and experts began to say

Perhaps the GOP should have just gone with Tina Fey

She said Obama palled around with terrorists and Reverend Jeremiah Wright

And she made Wasilla Main Street a household name one night

Obama countered by saying you can put lipstick on a pig

And Biden said that he’d have to deal with something really big

The economy went in the tank, but that didn’t faze McCain

He knew that he could fix it by suspending his campaign

When that didn’t work at all, it really was a bummer

To the Republican Party and especially Joe the Plummer

It finally was Election Day, 2 years in the making

Were the pollsters right? Or were the voters faking?

The results and votes came in and McCain conceded

Turns out Barack Obama was just the change we needed

So here we are just hours after an historic night

The liberal wackos on the left beat the wing nuts on the right

But before you get excited, before you rant and gush

Remember we unfortunately have 2 more months with Bush
