I just heard on the morning news here in tennessee a very interesting fact about our two presidential canidates. Apparently since Tennessee is a Republican state niether canidate considers it a battle ground they need to win or can win in Kerry's case. Because of this BOTH canidates are CHARGING for campaign items. Yard signs $5 Bumper stickers $3 Pens and Pencils $1 T-shirts $15 This is insane! Just becuase they think this state is allready set you have to pay to show your support! My God! I am in shock.
let me know what you think or if you have heard about this in your state also.

Well, I guarantee they won't be doing that here in Florida! These are our political "chosen ones" doing their thing!
I have seen high school elections with less drama and more maturity than this crap!

Pure capitalism at work here. Even during an election. I have just never heard of anything like this before. I wonder if they come here on the campiagn trail if they will charge to shake hands and kiss babies? $20 gets you a firm shake and $50 gets your baby kissed on the forehead. Maybe for a $1000 they will even come talk at a local middle school. Friggin crazy!

It's too soon to tell. Anything can still happen, tipping states. I think Tennesee is likely to go to Bush, but anything can happen. I'm not making assumptions until mid-October.

Exactly! So why would the Canidates not give away signs and bumper stickers like every where else. Thats just crazy!

That's just like not trying any more for a job interview, when either you think you're going to get it or you think there's not much hope. Never give up hope or think you don't need to try for something anymore.

I agree totaly gs3647! One thing that gets me the most about this is they are charging! Just say you dont have them. Say your not going to distribute them in this area. Dont charge for them!
