The Obama vote will be not much larger than the African-American vote in Tennessee.    
This is not true at all. Blacks will be 15-20% of the electorate here in TN. Obama will get more white votes than black votes. We're not Mississippi.

R posting a couple of sixty-burgers in the Southeast is within reason very much. Like in NC, I just don't see the cities there as liberal enough bastions to offset the legions of rural voters that will turn out to vote against O.

It's not just that the cities aren't "liberal enough." Hamilton and Knox Counties are GOP strongholds. Ditto for most of Eastern Shelby and the ring of suburban counties surrounding Nashville. Memphis is the only Democratic metro area in the state and even here, white people are very heavily Republican.
