8. I've wondered why we're so "red", cause when you think about it . . . |
|
We have Memphis in the west -- large Afro-American population. Nashville in the middle, large number of "immigrants" from other states. Knoxville in the east, large university. The Nashville Tennessean newspaper did a poll last week of middle Tennessee: 45/45.

5. My own theory is McCain knows he's lost, so he's making a money tour. |
|
He's most likely to raise funds by campaigning far to the right and hitting the red states. Those are his donors. The moderates and undecideds won't give him anything now. I think he's campaigning to pay off debt and to collect funds for whatever he does next.
Just a theory, based on nothing, really. :)

7. So how many did he get in Blountville? |
|
If it was a real campaign stop, shouldn't it have been a few miles north in Bristol? Blountville has a whopping population of 2970.

9. the "crowds" play better on TV? |
|
especially with all the free publicity the cable talkies are giving them these past few days
i thing they want the appearance of a groundswell, so they're preaching to the biggest choirs
^just a theory
but i HOPE they're doing some serious damage control- he needs to haul his unremarkable buttocks back to Arizona, by the looks of it
