Bad analogy. LA has more black voters than TN and has two Dem senators and a Dem governor. LA is much more Democrat than TN and that's what we're talking about-- could the selection of a popular Democrat in a competitive Southern state tip the scales away from Bush? LA and AR (or WV) would be ripe for the picking. It's too bad for Kerry that David Pryor isn't 10 years younger.

Or even Richard Pryor, for that matter.
