Only in America could you have such razzmatazz

A QUIRK on the campaign trail is that both candidates wrap up their rallies with the same song — Only in America by country group Brooks and Dunn.

And, oh, how apt.

As election day looms, the desire to be a part of the phenomenon has turned politics into rock-and-roll and policy platforms into play-lists. It is impossible to imagine any other nation deciding its leader in such a blaze of razzmatazz.
