Matthew McConaughey weighed in and said Toby was cool because he played the guitar but then again, Kristen got props because she knows how to throw a party. Jon Bon Jovi indicated "as country goes so goes the country." Then President Barack Obama and Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney debated the issue as well.
The president proclaimed, "This is one of the toughest decisions I've had to make since I've been in office." He added, "I want them both." And thus, both Toby and Kristen's names were on the "ballot" so they both got to co-host the awards show.
