Oh OK...
btw I mentioned the 2000 election. I think W did win Tenn. but it wasn’t by a huge margin as he did the other Southern
states. However it came down to Fla. which I believe was orig. called for Gore, then called back. Its 25 EVs decided the election and ultimately it was called for W.

What I mean of course if even if Gore lost Florida, which he did, a win in his home state of Tenn. WOULD have put him
over the top.

Yes, I'm a Tennessean and quite proud we stopped that monster from DC (Gore was never from here, he was born and raised in DC and occasionally would spend a summer here when his daddy wasn't taking marching orders from Stalin's personal capitalist, Armand Hammer). I predicted after the 1996 elections that Gore would not be able to carry Tennessee. As it was, he only barely helped Clinton to carry it in 1992 and '96 (but both times, it was only by a plurality, it was Perot who took the rest). For a lot of years, Tennesseans bought that Gore was a "centrist", even a "Conservative", and once he was unleashed as VP, folks here could finally see this guy was an ultraliberal. By 2000, he had clearly alienated more than half the population of the state. It was more than poetic justice that when he held his "victory party" outside here in Nashville's downtown, we had a rare November thunderstorm that evening. So, yup, Tennessee saved the country. ;-D
