No comment except that it's nice to see MD pumping out polls and making money.

56% of Tennesseans think Bush is going a Fair or better job. Not bad for old George Dubya.

Why does this state get a debate? Also, unless I get to go to it, I don't think New York should get one either.

No surprise.  At least MD is polling, although I'd rather they focus on VA, MO, and FL.

Fair is considered a negative rating.

Only goes to show how much my county doesn't fit in with my state. Shelby County is urban, majority black, and Deep South. Most of the state is rural, white, and Upper South.

Does anyone here still seriously think that Hillary would have had a shot at this state?

No, Tennessee will probably not vote for a Dem for President for a generation at least.

I don't know.  Probably not Tennessee, but Hillary did a fine job turning herself into an old-school, working class-backing Democrat during the primaries.  I didn't really buy it, but increased turnout that went overwhelmingly for her in the primaries in Appalachian states shows that a lot of people liked her message.  Too bad for her it took her until Obama practically had the thing nailed down to find that message.  I think she would have won Ohio and West Virginia fairly easily. 

If it had been Clinton v. McCain

TENNESSEE
McCain 53%
Clinton 46%

....with the race being Obama v. McCain (and mind you I think Obama wins this thing nationally by 6 points)

McCain 57%
Obama 41%

....fact of the matter is, Obama is going to be destroyed all up and down Appalachia no matter how good he does nationally.  There aren't any Republicans there who will vote for him, and a very good chunk of the Democrats out there don't like him either.
