Roger Fisher, (founding band member and one of the five co-writers of the song), was reported to be "thrilled" by the song's use, as the publicity it generated allowed him to endorse Barack Obama's campaign to a much bigger audience, and the additional royalties generated allowed him to make a bigger donation to Obama's campaign.

But not too irrelevant that the GOP is using their song eh? I wonder what happens when a political party becomes irrelevant & impotent?

actually, the mccain campaign does have the rights... they paid for it.
the wilson sisters are just stupid- how are you gonna take the money someone pays you to use your work and then bitch when they actually do use it?
thats why you have copyright- you can always say no. which is what they should have done instead of taking the money then complaining.
but i guess thats what happens when your band becomes irrelevant but you still need to get your bills paid.
