Another view of the Mason Dixon Poll

[SouthernBelle82]

On my county's website at http://www.hamdems.org they have a good take on the recent Mason Dixon poll. Basically they say the poll is unreliable because last year they said our now mayor Ron Littlefield here in Chattanooga, TN was not going to win and his opponent would and she didn't. Than they said Governor Bredesen in 2001 wasn't going to win and Van Hilleary was. Now they're telling us that Ford isn't going to win. With their track record why believe them? A lot of the polls I am watching (I go by a good handful both local and not) and they have Ford neck and neck with Corker and still somewhere in the upper 40's. So I'm not ready yet to wipe off the TN race or any of the other states that they have polled. So my message is basically to not give up!
