In Nashville, TN

My mom went to the Obama HQ to pick up some bumper stickers and yard signs. They have continually been out of bumper stickers due to high demand. Nashville is very blue, but the shocker is that driving through very wealthy and republican Williamson County there are a good number of Obama signs in front of some of the mansions and comparatively few Romney signs. This is very unusual. I am feeling a real disconnect about the poll data. I have heard others express this type of thing as well regarding other wealthy areas. What's up with that?0

Seventeenth richest county in the nation and really red, yet hardly any Romney signage. Lots of Obama signs and stickers tho.

rather than caring what we think.

It does not behoove them to tell us the truth.

They are either trying to steal another one, or they want more advertising revenue.



The media are clowns; the pollsters are circus animals. It's disgusting.

I've been listening to FOX Radio and NPR's coverage, and it's very hard to tell who is who anymore.

Thanks for your report.
