I just got home from a trip to Tennessee [View all]

and all I can say is, you have a beautiful state....at least northeastern Tennessee, which is where I was.

I didn't see many Democrats, but I didn't get my car vandalized with my "We are the 99%" bumper sticker, so I was relieved. However, on a trip into "town", I parked behind a car with a bumper sticker for the Democratic party...so there were at least two of us there at one time. I would have probably hugged them if I had seen who was in that car.

My sister just moved there, and is trying to talk me into moving there too. I am not sure that I am ready for it, or that I could survive there though....not from the few people who I met. More power to the Democrats in that state!
