Funny thing is, when senators begin to actively prepare for voting by means of the web in good time. Hillary Rodham Clinton took an active part in voting on a theme song for her presidential campaign.

She asked YouTube viewers to vote on several songs she chose like “I’m a Believer” and “Beautiful Day”, “Rock This Country!” by Shania Twain and “Suddenly I See” by KT Tunstall, “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” by The Police and “You and I” by Celine Dion.

Her actions she commented on in the following way, “I want to know what you’re thinking on one of the most important questions of this campaign.”

Does this lead to political activity? At least viewership is interested in voting and show interest in one or another contest.

By the way, Michael Crowley, a senior editor at the “International Herald Tribune”, said in a telephone interview that while he was inclined to mock the contest, he did see some value to it for the campaign.

“She’s sort of the embodiment in modern American politics of control-freakery and microcalculation, but the videos were fun and she seemed likable and funny, and she doesn’t get many opportunities to come across that way,” Crowley said.

Make sure celebs themselves will inevitably ask Hillary Clinton to choose their songs. “On National Public Radio, a reporter, Robert Smith, played a sound bite of Sting singing with The Police, “Every little thing she does is magic, everything she do just turns me on.” Then Smith asked: “Do you really want a president that turns you on?”
