  Tags: Iraq, Mn Sen, Minnesota, Senate, 2008 Elections

  This is brilliant. Let's hope this pro-war group continues to run ads thanking vulnerable senators for their support for Bush's war. Democrats couldn't air a more damaging ad. Coleman has been trying to play both sides, pretending he's got concerns about Iraq while continuing to vote for this dramatically unpopular war. This ad makes it

  Ranch Arena in Fergus Falls, MN. We were on for 30 minutes, and then went out to watch the show. I must say that Neal puts on a damn good show. He works the crowd with amazing finesse. Afterwards, we went on to The Silver Dollar in Elizabeth, MN to finish the night. We played two sets and had a blast.

  Now does radio have the right to spin album cuts? What do you think? I'd love to know....I am not really sure if Sony BMG knows what they want.... Sony sent a letter yesterday to country radio demanding that they cease using unauthorized works. Specifically, Tracy Lawrence's "Find Out Who Your Friends Are."

  I guess having Bush raise money for you isn't enough anymore. Well, Norm Coleman posted his Q3 numbers today and all he came up with is $1.7M.
