Yepp.

The good thing is that with the TN primary coming up, there's a good chance that PPP will take a general election look at the state too. And I think that Romney/Santorum will lead by about 10 in this poll. Don't know about Gingrich or Paul. But if PPP confirms these close numbers here, the GOP is in really bad shape. Tennessee ? Really ? They cannot afford to spend money there.

University poll. Pretty much says everything.

Although, I do admit it would be thoroughly amusing if we actually did witness the GOP lose Tenn.

Trash.

This poll showed the same thing last time they polled. Obama is basically at the Democratic floor, which pretty much says he'll get close to what he got last time, no more than that.

According to an article in the local paper, 20% of respondents are troubled that Mitt belongs to the Mormon cult, but still prefer him since 24% say Obama is Muslim.

Must be nice to live in such a tolerant and well-educated state.

 If all of these racist states are so close, Mitten$' ability to make rain will be tested.

People voting on certifiable ignorance and intolerance less deserve the vote than do illegal aliens.
