Description:

A look at Presidential politics from Teddy Roosevelt through Teddy Kennedy, with special emphasis on the 1992 election of Bill Clinton and the upcoming contest between Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain. Featuring separate mixes on Super Tuesday 2008 including winning and losing candidates Ruduph Giuliani, Mitt Romney, John Edwards, Mike Huckabee, and others with music from Bruce Springsteen and Robert Wyatt. "Politik Kills" featuring the current resident of the White House, George W. Bush defending his foreign policy over music from Manu Chao. "For What It's Worth" is the debate over Iraq between George W. Bush and John Kerry in 2004.

The "Presidential Shortcut" takes a historical look at elections starting with Teddy Roosevelt and including archival audio from FDR, Thomas Dewey, Harry S. Truman, Dwight David Eisenhower, JFK, Richard Nixon, Dan Quayle, Ross Perot, Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush, Mario Cuomo, Jerry Brown, Jesse Jackson, Richard Belzer, Lloyd Bentsen, Al Gore and many more. (2 versions available)

I've also added some "Primary Elements" for "Super Tuesday 2", including 2 different mixes and the vox and music edits.
