The same thing happened in Tennessee.
In Tennessee, McCain took 79 of 87 counties - the most since Nixon in ‘72.
Not only did McCain post one of the biggest wins in a long time here in Tennessee against Obama, The republicans also took over the State House of Legislators, and strengthened their majority in the state senate. They haven’t held a majority of the state house since the Civil War! You know how they did it.... By running as conservatives.
Also, the leftist media likes to talk about how racist we are here in Tennessee. What they fail to mention is that when Harold Ford ran against Bob Corker back in ‘06 for the Senate, (when Tennessee bucked the trend back then as well), Harold Ford received somewhere over 48% of the vote, won a bunch of counties and almost won. Why....
Because Harold Ford is not as Liberal as Obama. Goes to prove that this wonderful state I live in is nowhere near the racist state the media makes it out to be. That we really are voting on Policy matters, not skin color.
But don’t tell the media that. They wouldn’t believe it if you paid them.
