Listener Challenge: Jingles for Obama and Romney

Studio 360

Back in the days of “I Like Ike,” presidential candidates hired Madison Avenue ad men to come up with winning jingles. These days, campaign ads are all message, no flair. We want you to come up with an original jingle for one or more of the presidential candidates.

The deadline to be considered for our contest is Sunday, October 28, 2012 at 11:59 PM EDT.

UPDATE: Listen to the winners of our contest.

Thanks to everyone who participated — we were so impressed by your creativity and skill.
