Actually, where the GOP made its move in Tenn is in the Nashville metro area. Kiss those Yankees on the cheek. Western Tenn, 48% Bush, Middle Tenn, the former Dem bastion, 56% Bush, Eastern Tenn, 64% Bush. You might be pretty close on Miss. 85% times 65% equals 55.25%. 3.5% more from the blacks equals around 59%, which was the Bush percentage.
"Close" my arse Torie.
I linked you folks with their own stats. take it up with them...lol
Here read the report:

The biggest thing about nashville yankees is that they are white and may offset the burgeoning Hispanic and other minority surges here. The blacks are being diminished and some think they are now #3 after Hispanics (mex, salvador, guat)in the 7 county metro area.
We have the largest Kurdish pop outside "Kurdistan" and they vote (R) as might be imagined.
But, and I know cause I fought them throughout the election....the noisiest Dems down here and big organizers were Yankees....mostly Northeasterners or Kali entertainment types.
I doubt anyone has stats on how metro Nashville folks from North or South voted. We have lots of non Yankee transplants too.
Nashville is now more liberal than ever. The suburbs though being overrun by nimbys and greenies are not...yet.
