Presidential politics: Germantown is in Shelby County, which voted Democratic in the last two presidential elections. According to unofficial vote totals for 2004, Bush received 157,591 votes and John Kerry received 215,810 votes.
In the November 2000 election, Shelby County supported Al Gore. Countywide, 141,756 people voted for Bush and 190,404 voted for Gore. Nader received 2,860 votes.
Thanks for the stats, So Cal Rocket. The only glitch I can see is that they're county-wide, and that would mean that they would include the ballots cast in Memphis, which, as a large city and given its demograhics, would collectively vote for whomever is on the Democratic card.
