There is absolutely no way Harold Ford wins in Tennessee no matter how hard the demoncrats push poll.

I sure hope not.....! I want to see Imus cry.

Tennessee is a deep red conservative state and according to this lie poll President Bush approval is at 35% which lower than his National approval rate, this is impossible.

Denial doesnt help anything. Ford talks a good game. Since all Corker talks about is his mama, Ford may be perceived as the conservative in the race. Besides what idea do you have about how a red state works. When was the last time Mass was red other than commy?

[Defiant]

Ford is undoubtedly skewing about 5-10 points high in polls because there are a certain percentage of people who won't admit that they are not voting for him because they don't want to seem racist. It is a reverse racism.

I agree with you. A few years ago, now, here in Virginia, Wilder was about +15 in the polls for Governor, and then was elected by just a few points. We figured it was because people wanted to appear to be fair when speaking to survey-takers. I think something like that might be going on in Tennessee this year, but probably not to the same degree.

Tell me how does a red state work please, enlighten me all knowing one! All your stupid posts are full of doom and gloom, nothing but defeatism and totally detached from reality. You are enslaved by what the liberals media tell you. We are fortunate that the vast majority the Republican base is not knee jerk reactionary people like you.

Black dems in Memphis will vote for Junior regardless of what he does. He's a Ford after all and they love them, elect them even when they are crooks, stupid, and liars etc.

[Political Junkie Too]

Gallup is not releasing their internal voter makeups

Are we going to see more and more of this in the future? Are the polling firms catching on to the new media? Can they maintain credibility if they hide the internals from scrutiny?

I know this is a late post, but Survey USA just released a poll showing Bob Corker leading 48%-46%.

[Redmen4ever]

thx

(feels good to be validated)

[WoodstockCat]

I desperately want Corker to win but I wouldn't use Survey USA to validate anything, they flat out stunk in the 2004 elections.

[Don Carlos]

This poll is crap

Yup, dead right on that!

BTW, thanks for serving, troop! You and your comrades in arms have my everlasting gratitude!
