1. The four cities in Tennessee are all Democratically-controlled.

I live in one of them. My city, Knoxville, was the first to elect a female mayor (who also happens to be a Latina) in the state's history. Nashville followed suit last fall and elected its first female, as well. Both are Democrats. The mayors of Memphis and Chattanooga are also Dems.

Like most states, the urban areas are very blue and the rural areas are very red. Unfortunately, Tennessee still has far more rural voters than urban voters.

Think about Pennsylvania. If it weren't for the very large metropolises of Pitt and Philly, that state would also be red.

But thanks for the footage. I enjoyed seeing it.

and they are all Republicans. I am the only "black sheep" liberal in the entire family (and it is a very large family)!

Go to google and type in Rev. Harold Middlebrook. Click on google news and look for article called We are now one week from Tennessee's and Arkansas' Republican .. on the local memphis site. I hope that helps.

I went directly to their site following your directions. I need to see if I am having trouble viewing any other videos? Puzzling. I usually can see videos once I disable Ad Block on the page.

He sounds enthusiastic for Bernie. Thanks for sharing.
