Huckabee ain't too proud to beg
- Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and his rock band, Capitol Offense, will play "Mustang Sally" when they come to Concord this weekend, if you want. Or "Jailhouse Rock."
Or "Ain't Too Proud to Beg."
The concert, scheduled for Saturday at 4 p.m. at the ball fields behind Northeast Delta Dental, is a fundraiser for the campaign, which has lagged behind in terms of raising money. It's also the second of two events being billed as the one-day-only Huckabee '08 New Hampshire Summer Concert Tour. (The other is a support-our-troops rally in Nashua at noon.)
Before Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, straps on his bass guitar, concertgoers can vote online for which songs they'd like the band to play at musiciansforhuckabee.wordpress.com.
As of yesterday afternoon, "Mustang Sally" held a narrow lead, with 17 percent of the votes. "Fortunate Son" had 16 percent of the votes. In order to see the results, we had to vote. (We chose "Taking Care of Business" because, well, we were). A tally on PollDaddy.com said it was one of 5,165 votes cast .

Be sure to vote in the poll for the song you would like to hear the band play. You can vote as many times as you want. If ya love Elvis please vote for Jailhouse Rock. Click here
