Intersection of Politics and Country Music on CNN

CNN political reporter-at-large Peter Hamby was in Tennessee to report from The Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. Hamby monitored the GOP primary results and analyzed the state’s political landscape for the network’s America’s Choice 2012: Super Tuesday coverage.

PETER HAMBY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We actually got the news here first before they heard it here in the Tennessee GOP war room, Wolf, where we are at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, which is by far the coolest primary night location so far.

But yes, this is a big win for Rick Santorum. He had to do well here and Oklahoma, these two big delegate prizes. He’s won a lot of caucuses so far, not a lot of primaries so this is a good one to have under his belt — Wolf.
