The Republicans have even engaged top William Morris agent Jeffrey Barry to try to wrangle country western stars to trek to the Twin Cities, a political source tells us. He's garnered "Redneck Woman" singer Gretchen Wilson, the source adds, but Barry wouldn't answer questions about whether he's rounded up more.

The Republican convention "will be a snooze-fest. They're really worried," said a former political operative. "It's not the celebs going per se, it's the energy. Celebrities cause excitement. Your ability to get press is enhanced. You can get into entertainment sections of newspapers and TV, and that's where a campaign wants to go to spread their message in nontraditional places. Republicans don't have as good a shot at that."
