Earl, there is quite a difference between playing the song and 
using the song as a campaign theme.

Get it through your head:  ASCAP only administers the the collection 
of copyrights for the limited basis of general play.  They do 
not have the rights to license songs for advertisement purposes, among 
others.

It's what you do not understand.  Making it part of the McCain campaign 
as a theme song goes betound the rights that ASCAP has available to it.

Scream "Is not!" louder, Earl.  ASCAP does not own the rights to 
the songs,  They only act as a clearing house.
