...in his column today, but wonders about the Red State Wranglers.
Here's what I e-mailed him this morning:
Dear Barney,Thanks for your mention of the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in today's column.
The "Red State Wranglers" is a group of musicians from Los Angeles who are distinctly Democrats. (In fact, they're donating their talents to the event.) Their name, of course, is a play on words. And if anyone thinks that country music is a preserve of the Right, please check out the "Music Row Democrats" of Nashville. Their web site (www.musicrowdemocrats.com) will set people straight on that score.
I do hope that you will give us one more mention before the event, and remind people that Sen. Ron Wyden, former UCSB basketball player, is our keynote speaker.
With kind regards,
—Ellen
