John McCain: ABBA fan???

In all the commotion over Hillary Clinton's long goodbye to the Democratic nomination fight, an odd moment in the Republican race got surprisingly little attention.

Presumptive nominee John McCain called a Phoenix radio station last Friday and confessed to a secret passion for ABBA!

McCain dropped the ABBA bombshell on the popular Johnjay and Rich Show on Phoenix's KZZP-FM. McCain told the deejays that before big speeches he pumps himself up by listening to the Swedish quartet's 1977 hit "Take a Chance on Me."

It turns out this wasn't the first time McCain had revealed his inner Fernando. In South Carolina last October, McCain confided in reporters on his campaign bus and told them that if he's elected ABBA would be the background music in "elevators all over the White House."


<<<<snip>>>>>


McCain’s campaign apparently hopes that his fondness for the Swedish super troopers might help woo women voters.

His campaign blog now features a vintage video of "Take a Chance on Me." "Attention disaffected Hillary supporters," the blogger trumpets, "John McCain is a huge ABBA fan. Seriously."

But apparently ABBA would not allow McCain to adopt the song for his campaign theme music -- at least not at an affordable price.

Although he doesn't go around admitting it in public, DH, the conservative, also secretly likes ABBA.
