Bush won the Nashville metro area decisively. That metro area is really why the state has swung GOP. That is where the movement has been, only margially offset by the Memphis area going more Dem because it is now about 50% black, in part because a fair number of whites in that metro area now live in Desoto County, Miss.
Only if you count every single county around Davidson as Metro which is NOT the official definition.
Metro is Davidson only. It went for Kerry. Thankfully, I live in Williamson county (Franklin) which was the biggest Bush county in the state in 2004.
I think racial electioneering is an exceptionally poor way to attempt to advance good in our country.
