Rasmussen: Tennessee Leans Dem

[auburntiger]

If TN leans DEM, then NJ leans GOP.

Honestly, I can't see Ford winning East TN with Corker's being from Chattanooga, nor the red-neck rural counties in Middle TN, which would mean he'd lose.

In the end, I think NJ will stay DEM and TN will stay GOP. pure partisan political  machines my friends.

yes, but.....

If the momentum in TN stays the same, Ford will win comfortably on election day.  If the momentum in NJ stays the same, Menendez and Kean will be tied in the low to mid 40's on election day.

Ford will certianly NOT run away with this race. If anything, it will be like NJ and be tied up til Election Day. I expect Corker to bounce back.
Let's not forget, this race is not like Obama's 40%+ margin in a very blue state.
This is TN, a red-leaning SOUTHERN state, and there are still ALOT of red-neck country bumpkins who won't vote for Ford for one reason: he's black. That's the wrong reason not to vote for him, but it's the truth

Well this came as a HUGE surprise to me this morning. My grandma and grandpa,  long-time Republicans, called me and told me they have jumped ship and are voting for Harold Ford.

Honestly, if people like my grandparents are jumping ship, I really think Ford will win this race. They are voting for bredesen too BTW

Don't get your hopes up. It's not over yet.
