Obama boogies down in Texas


(NECN) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama boogied down with country band "Asleep at the Wheel" at a post-debate fundraiser in Austin, Texas Thursday night.

The Senator then did a little twist, threw up a double-handed Texas Longhorn sign and walked off the stage.
