Did T. Bone vote for Obama? At least once?

I doubt that ever happen. T.Boone was a major swift boat supporter.

Better article on T.Boone vs Obama

on April 22, 2008, Pickens gave $15,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee that helps elect GOP congress members but didn’t do a very good job in 2006.

Back even farther than that — 24 hours earlier, to be precise — Pickens gave $14,250 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, according to The Times’ Dan Morain and the records of the Federal Election Commission.

And then there was the $28,500 Pickens gave to the Republican National Committee. But that was a long, long time ago — Oct. 15, 2007, in the days when Sen. Hillary Clinton’s staff was still planting questions in her forum audiences and the New York Giants hadn’t almost lost then miraculously won the Super Bowl against the New England Losers.

Pickens’ wife, Madeleine Pickens, who keeps a house in....

...La Jolla, has also contributed $28,500 to the RNC.

Pickens was, in fact, among the biggest fund-raisers for Rudolph Giuliani’s failed presidential campaign, probably bundling $1 million from friends, family and business associates. Giuliani, if memory serves, is also GOP.

In this 2008 election cycle, Pickens has directly given more than $80,000 to Republicans, including $2,500 to Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, $2,300 each to the newly-indicted Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska and Sen. Pete Domenici of New Mexico, plus $2,300 to Brian Bilbray, the San Diego-area Republican congressman.
