Will Bush's Crawford "Ranch" be put up for sale before March 1, 2010?

Background: Bush Drops Fake Cowboy Shtick
http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/120464/bush_drops_fake_cowboy_shtick/?comments=view&cID=1110305&pID=1109708#c1110305">http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/120464/bush_drops_fake_cowboy_shtick/?comments=view&cID=1110305&pID=1109708#c1110305<;/a>

George Bush bought his "ranch" down in Crawford in 1999 shortly before he started running for president. And now that he's done with politics, he is moving out of there as soon as he possibly can. The Bushes have bought a new home in a tony neighborhood (and until recently a whites-only community) in Dallas. So, what happened to retiring down to the ranch?

FYI: The ranch was a former pig farm.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.

Great question... If one reads your backup info, it really looks like the whole ranch thing was a political fairy tale that everyone, particularly the press, bought into!!! Fascinating.. I just think that Bush won't want the myth seen to be true until he cashes in, with "his view on the world" -- writing a few memoirs first...
