On Tuesday, presidential candidate Alan Keyes began a six-week grassroots tour of Texas, originally his home state. Keyes is a 1968 graduate of Cole High School in San Antonio.
Although Keyes will make excursions outside Texas as needed, and will continue his nationwide radio blitz to counter the media's virtual blackout of his campaign, he plans to camp out in Texas until its primary on March 4. As most pundits agree, if Super Tuesday fails to produce a "presumptive" Republican nominee, Texas becomes all the more important as the last big prize of the primaries.
I heard of this group but not enough. I gonna check them out...see if I can get some tunes. Our band does a little Texas Swing to mollify those in the audience who insist on “country.”
Queue up Waylon Jennings singing, "I don't think Hank done it this way."
Oh yeah, that's for sure.
But Bob Wills is still the King!
Those four candidates have won elective office though.
Until Keyes gets elected to a position higher than newshow commentator, then we'll talk.
And Asleep At The Wheel ... they’ve done a couple of great tribute albums to Bob Wills. Ahhh - ha ...
I’m gettin’ me a real edumacation here.
Try the Bobwills.com web site...... He started in the mid 20s and became one of if not the biggest western swing band in his era.

I was proud to vote for this fine man when he last ran. Solid conservative and the sharpest mind in the group. Same this time around. Unlike many, I really like his abrasive presentations of his positions. He doesn’t sugar coat it. I would vote for him again if I believe he had any chance of even speaking at the convention. Alas he doesn’t. I am so worried about McCain and the Huckster this time around that I want to be very careful about how I use my vote. Dang! Won’t matter anyway, I live in Vt.
Alright! Many, many thanks!
“Or is it the Alan Keyes who called Cheney’s daughter immoral because she is gay, but doesn’t mind that his own daughter is gay?”
Alan Keyes disowned his daughter(Marcel-Keyes).
He no longer pays for her collage and is not welcomed in the family home.
Keyes is a hard man, I couldn’t do that with my offspring.
Keyes can’t even make the Free Republic poll. He won’t do much better in Texas.
Alan Keyes is still in it??
Great song. Luchenbach Texas and Broken Promise Land are some of my favs. I frequent the Gallopin Goose, an old Honky-Tonk in Coolidge, AZ—One of his old haunts.
Oh, and did we just hijack the thread?
Lies, unworthy of FR.
Ping to #35.
Alan’s the only conservative left in the race, and on enough states’ ballots to matter.
Does that count for anything, or is FR part of the FOXNBCABCSeeBS blackout?
