"...I just think that as governor of a state, especially where I live, there would be a lot more opportunities to make some decisions and change some things."

As opposed to being a governor of a state where you didn't live....

As if there is any doubt McGraw's politics: "He identified health care as his top issue, and said one of his main reasons for wanting to enter politics is Clinton, whom he calls "the best president we ever had."

Pretty much says it all for me...

Shut up and sing!

Best thing about him is his wife!

[MarkeyD]

I would have never thought he was a Rat. Didn't he perform at the Republican convention?

[saveliberty]

:-) He's 38. In ten to fifteen years, he will be another person. And if not, we'll see how it goes.

[Brilliant]

Well, I have to admit that Clinton might be the best President the Dems ever had. 'Course, that's not saying much.

[dead]

McGraw, 38, told the magazine he has no immediate plans to enter politics. "Maybe in 10 or 15 years when the music has died down," he said.

That time table will likely be far more accelerated than he thinks.

There’s some younger male model with a passable voice waiting in the wings.

Like I heard someone say a while back "Shut up and sing!".

Tim McGraw has a music career?

[Meadow Muffin]

Well, I had 1 of his CD's that now goesin the dumpster....I won't support DemoRats or their casues, now their music.

[GodGunsGuts]

If he keeps it up, he will probably be singing backup for the Dixie Chicks.

[jbwbubba]

As a Country Music fan, I am deeply ashamed. Of course he did do a song, which focused on abortion.

How the hell is this guy a Democrat?????????????? He needs a good lesson from Toby Keith or something.

...President Clinton said,"I think that's something Tim can do without even pretending."

Unlike himself, right?

[siunevada]

And I think that's something Tim can do without even pretending.

Good one, Mr. Prez. Pretending worked for B.J., I don't know why he would disparage it now.

[Andy'smom]

He thinks Clinton was the best president we ever had? Faith, you better keep an eye on this guy!

[Doogle]

..he must need the dixie chicks for a tour

Although Toby says he is registered as a Democrat, he certainly doesn't act like one.

[RockinRight]

As long as I don't find out Gretchen Wilson's a Dem, I'll be OK.

I don't even really listen to Country music, but Gretchen's hot in that trailer-trash sort of way.

"Well, I had 1 of his CD's that now goesin the dumpster....

Right next to Faith's new CD. I bought it a few months ago, and there's a song on there "Good Ole USA," that's right up there with John Lennon's "Imagine."

[Tamar1973]

He needs a good lesson from Toby Keith or something.

Good luck. Toby Keith is a Democrat, too. (Although I think he's more like a Regan Democrat, but a Democrat none the less.)
