There current tour is almost sold out - it was almost sold out before Maines made her statement. The sale of all other products and their place on the charts has gone steadily down hill and is still going down. An article that came out today said they had hired bodyguards because they didn't feel safe. I would imagine when all is said and done the only thing they need worry about is their bottom line. It is still looking for the bottom. The GOP had nothing to do with whatever boycott exists. The people that are the buyers of country music are not nearly as forgiving as are those who support other forms of entertainment. The Chicks screwed up and are reacting to this screwup in a way that is only increasing resentment toward them
