Toby Keith: Obama's 'Best Democratic Candidate We've Had Since Bill Clinton' Toby Keith Praises Obama Tuesday, August 19, 2008 By Ryan Pearson, Associated Press

Los Angeles - Barack Obama is getting praise from Nashville, courtesy of one big, patriotic country star.

Toby Keith, perhaps best known to non-country audiences for his post-Sept. 11 song "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue," says he's a Democrat, and was impressed by the senator from Illinois.

that’s pretty astute

i live here in nashville and am on the fringe of music row exercutive folks socially, it’s pretty even

many of the men are conservative

many of the women in the biz are not

goes about the same way with performers....most of the big names are patriotic and conservative...John Rich is very conservative and takes heat for it

the progressive country.....Crowell, Ketchum, Lovett, Rosanne Cash are not...they are major lefties

CMT very very leftwing and they don’t even like country or the audience

GAC....a better choice

this ain’t 1960s Nashville sadly

(i have a pal on narrows road north)

many people in the fancy parts of nashville are ignorant and just ape the “right answer”

[firewalk]

yes he said the best democratic candidate
but he didn't say that bambi was the best man for the job

[wardaddy]

that’s what I drive...in black..with a chip

[Freedom Dignity n Honor]

I’m disgusted. I thought Toby was smarter than that.

“Next thing I expect to hear is that Toby is a butt ranger, his favorite movie is Brokeback Mountain, and he has a crush on Barney Frank.”

Lol! Now we know why he wants to get his horse drunk.

Yippee Yi-Yo Ki-Ay!

Yet more proof that country "music" will make you ignorant.

Charlie Daniels might disagree with you. Check his web page.

Shoot, I really like his music. Maybe he likes one the of girls in the dixie chicks.

I can honestly say this floored me! If you had told me the moon was made of cheese, I'd be less shocked.

Yep, me too. I was also shocked to find that another Okie James Garner was a Big Clinton supporter. I was born in Oklahoma in the 30's and I can tell you there were very few Republicans, at that time.
