Obama and Romney go country

In dueling appeals to the common voter, both President Obama and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney will appear at the CMT Music Awards Wednesday night. Sadly, neither will be appearing live — both taped video segments in advance for the show’s opening act.

The country music channel plans to keep things non-partisan. CMT President Brian Philips told the AP that each man is “in on the joke.” We hope this means that both will be wearing cowboy hats.
