That one is a nom that we have all but ignored. But you are absolutely right.I've written many many posted describing my frustration with the ACM noms, but again -- how the hell did Toby Keith get nominated during a year when he really did nothing, no significant impact at retail, radio, or the road? That is just plan wrong... I guess the sexist, good ole boys win again.
I'm more familiar with brad as he's with carrie more than carrie is with keith but I'm not JUST going to use THAT (status of friendship) as a reason for voting for him. Keith is just as deserving and the fact that he's also on another label is a plus too. also, keith hasn't won EOTY in who knows when (and hasn't gotten many other awards for some time since male vocalist is usually brad and EOTY is usually kenny)
plus the fact that RF are also pulling support for keith gives us a bigger chance of sending a message. whether they take it or not or just ignore it won't be our concern. that's not the point. the principle of it all is to send our voices (along with carrie's beaaautiful vocals lol ) out AND LOUD. looking at all those factors and pros, I think voting for keith will be killing 2 birds with one stone. He will get a deserving award after so long, his fans and carrie fans will have a stronger bond -being on even more friendly terms (that they might even help us out when needed), the label (as well as industry) will see that we WILL NOT STOP and will SEE bigger then ever our support towards carrie so even if they disregard it-as long as we've done what we can, that is all that matters.
