1. Why didn't the Al Gore endorsement help more in TN?

4. I dunno, that's a great question.

Perhaps Al's policies/platform is too left for the average Vol. i dunno.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

5. Except Gore is clearly to the right of Kerry

Based on the record.

2. 87% OF THE DEMOCRATS WON'T GIVE KERRY TN.

there are more republicans here than Democrats,and the reps. vote.What we are seeing now is the typical Tn. voters rationale.Tn. voters tend to go with the frontrunner.For Kerry to have a fraction of a chance in the GE agianst Bush in November.The national polling would have to show Kerry with a sizeable lead agianst Bush.
Tn is not a Rep state or a Dem state.It is a state that goes with winners.Tn has went with the winners over the last 7 pres. elections.If Kerry is only got a 5pt or less lead over Bush or lord forbid Kerry is behind or even with Bush,Kerry will lose Tn I guarantee it.
The formula for Tn is have a big lead if your a Dem.just stay close or lead if your a Rep. and you will win.

3. Of course, Zogby didn't report the other numbers

so we don't know figures for Kerry vs Bush among Independents and Republicans. But if it is similar to what we've seen in other states, things look good for the Dems in November.

6. After 4 years of Bush, look for the Volunteer state to bolt from tradition

[AnnitaR]

7. Well fuck, the POLLS say Kerry's already won so...

I guess there's no point in my going to vote tomorrow?

Dumbass media! Every since that damn Zogby poll came out they've treated it like it was official results!

It's a POLL!

For the love of god when will the insanity stop??

Screw him, them, and the "wide coalition"!

8. What an odd sentiment.

It's just a poll, it's not something to get excited about.

[AnnitaR]

9. That's my point!

Did you read the headline? "Kerry set to romp..."

My point is that it is just a poll. However the media has treated this poll as if the race has already been decided in TN & VA. That is something to get excited about.

14. "Romp"

is a funny verb. Will I romp this week? Will I know it? Will someone claim that I have? How will I know if I have truly romped?

15. Who put the romp...

..in the romp de romp de romp? Who put the ram in the ramalama ding dong?
