hank williams. [ applause ] >> hello.hank you, horace. >> the engineer, bob sullivan said the louisiana hayride wasn't produced. it just happened. this is the hallway in the great municipal auditorium with a lot of the portraits of the stars of the louisiana hayride. of course, here is the man in black, johnny cash, who began here with his first record on sun records back in the early '50s. here is his beautiful bride, june carter. they both performed on the louisiana hayride many, many times. june is part of the great carter family whose mother maybelle and the carter family played here on the hayride here many times. of course, here's little old elvis. of course, elvis didn't have side burns back then. he was a little teenager coming from memphis. kind of sandy headed and cute as he could be. of course, stole all the hearts of the fans of the louisiana hayride and became famous from the louisiana hayride stage when he was still a teenager. and down here is, of course, the great hank williams. hank williams actually the

and down here is, of course, the great hank williams. hank williams was actually the first really big star of the louisiana hayride. he was the greatest back then and is still the greatest. he left here after he became a big hit. went to the grand ole opry. unfortunately, he had a problem -- he had a drinking problem. but he was in really poor health, and he was fired from the grand ole opry and came back to shreveport. and whorace logan immediately said, hank, you'll always be a member of the louisiana hayride. and he -- and we continue that. he will always be a member of the louisiana hayride. this is the back door entrance where the entertainers would come up the steps. this is actually where i made my first entrance into the municipal auditorium at the hayride. and we all came in through this back door and would either go in to one of these dressing rooms or go on stage. there was always a crowd back here of singers, musicians, songwriters, everybody visiting before the show and all during the show, actually. and this is a larger dre

hank williams being the well-known recording artist. so you look at that. perhaps that was a little bit of an issue. another issue i think here was turnout today across the state of louisiana. there were expectations that turnout would just not be that good. i know at the polling place where we were the turnout certainly wasn't that good. all day long. why? well, for one thing, there wasn't the kind of retail politicking that you've seen in some of the other states because this is all a very new process for people in louisiana and they just didn't, some said, have the connection with these kands candidates you that might have seen in new hampshire. connection perhaps the key. again, in a southern state mitt romney, who is the leader according to the national polls, was not able to connect with the voters here in louisiana. rick santorum certainly was. reaching across to evangelicals, catholics, and that may very well have been the difference in louisiana. back to you, don, we'll come back and talk about it a little later. >> joe johns, thank you very much.

in this case the most interesting robo call we heard about was the one from hank williams, the recording artist, in favor of, in support of rick santorum. turnout here was thought to be low because the voters really were not able to have the time with these candidates to develop a strong connection and connection perhaps the most important word of the night. mitt romney, the national front-runner, unable to develop that connection once again with southern voters that has denied him a win in southern states except for florida. the most important thing of all, really, is the delegate count. louisiana has 46 delegates, 20 of those to be awarded after primary night. the rest to be awarded between now and june in a caucus and a convention. randi, back to you. >> thank you, joe. >>> as joe said, the delegates still have to be sorted out but based on last night's result santorum gets 8 and romney 5. the rest will stay uncommitted until the state's republican convention. >>> thousand to new developments in the trayvon martin story. the gated community where he was killed will soon be the subject

i don't know if you remember old hank williams. he had a song... "i can plough a field all day long, "i can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn. "my grandpa taught me how to live off the land. "he showed me how to be a businessman. and a country boy can survive." how hard will it be in the future? i don't know. i just don't go there. we're just pilgrims and foreigners, just passing through. this life is just a speck in the sand, compared to eternity. ted kennedy: the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die. announcer: this is our experience, the american experience. coming soon to american experience. man: oil from these animals was hugely valuable. the biggest hunt in human history. woman: it's the riskiest, the most extreme, the farthest away, beyond anything that we can imagine. man: it was an endeavor that inspired the deepest and darkest poetry of america. man (dramatization): "the ship, great god, where is the ship?" "into the deep: america, whaling, and the world," coming soon to american experience. exclusive corporate funding for ame

come on as hank williams jurors jr.ld say. >> we went from the clinton-gore recession, as they say on fox news, to the obama--yeah exactly. nothing happened in between there, as you know. >> not at all. now crossroads, which is karl rove's group has put out a new ad. now let's watch this. >> in a world where one man cannot lose the fate of the world rests in one top-secret mission. >> after my election i have more flexibility. >> i understand. >> your mission is simple, mr. obama, win one last election to weaken our defenses and to pawn the world. dmitri will take the information. >> starring barack obama as president flexible. mr. dmitri as hezemekov. and vladimir putin as his himself. operation hot mic. >> first of all thatted a is really well done. doesn't that make him look like a bad ass. >> if i was to have an accident. it definitely would be russia. >> 1972, and dolph lundgren is still our biggest enemy. >> i can't wait for the sequel to that ad. >> what do you think rocky four will be the sequel to that ad. >> i
