I was close to you for a while. Still in the N part of the county, out in the country, on the lake. To offer to break bread stands.

Thanks. Not sure when I'll be up that way again - maybe we can figure it out - like Sequoyah type north or up on the plateau?

If the TN GA line had been drawn properly I'd actually be in GA - E Brainerd. Thanks, seems like we have very similar thoughts about many things.

Grew up in E. Brainerd and same condition as you with the line.

Are you further out than the road expansion?

E Brainerd Rd? That has finally moved past us. We were out today around Gunbarrel - in that area where Target is. I saw two identical VW Beetles drive in off Igou Gap. They both had the European style long license plates on the front. One of those things that happen in a flash, the front car said "Grimm" and the second I think was "Die Hexen" - very funny if you've watched Grimm.

My parents are out near where the expansion stopped. One of the big neighborhoods. My dad hates it, and Chattanooga. But my mom refuses to budge because they are perfectly in the middle of the kids. My sisters are in Knoxville, with me in Atlanta. About 2hrs either way.

Someone on Reddit called Michigan “the last stand of the Sanderistas.”

Almost every dynamic that led Bernie to win in Michigan in 2016 is still in play, so we will learn a lot from this race about the temperament of the voters and Biden's strength/weakness as a front-runner:

1) Michigan doesn't have party registration, so everyone can vote for Bernie to prolong Joe's suffering with no contest on the Republican side.

2) There are an unusual amount of college students in Michigan (19% of all voters in 2016 were under 30)

3) Black voters in Michigan are slightly more liberal - Bernie got to 30% here in 2016 which was double his numbers in the South.

A key dynamic missing, though, is Hillary as the opponent.

We're about a mile from the Publix (Hurricane Creek). Do you know about taking the exit (US-41) just past the I-75 truck inspection station (think it's mile marker 345) over to Cherokee Valley Rd to E Brainerd Rd? Cuts off a lot of time if you normally go all the way up to the E Brainerd exit.

March 10th is Michigan 125, Washington 89, Missouri 68, Mississippi 36, Idaho, 20 North Dakota 14, Sanders is projected to win 3 out of 3 and split half the delegates in the ones he could win with Biden.
March 17th is Florida 110, Illinois 66, Ohio 55, Arizona 26, Georgia 105, Biden is projected to Win 4 out of 5

Bernie is going to come up short.

LOL...........You're trying awfully hard.
Why would the DNC want them out of the race before Super Tuesday?
Do you think they understood some math that the candidates couldn't grasp on their own?

Because Bernie will put the party in a ditch for a generation at minimum. And it's never about substantive issues with the Dems. It's all about power nothing else

If the Times can get this much on Bernie. God knows what the RNC has on him.

“The Times obtained 89 pages of letters, telegrams and internal Soviet government documents that reveal how each side — Bernie Sanders, as the mayor of Burlington, Vermont, and officials in Moscow — tried to cultivate a relationship to serve their own political ends.”

I agree. My point is that Michigan will be helpful in discovering how little runway Bernie has left.

You think there is something wrong with democrats who have the same objective legally working together to achieve that objective?

But are okay with our stated enemy engaging in a misinformation propaganda campaign to benefit the candidate of their choice?

It's not my continuum that is screwed up.

There you go talking about the Steele dossier again.

I do that and come up whatever ootlewah ringgold road is at that point. (151). Havent come up cherokee valley from that way. My family lives in Mountain Shadows, the old part.

It's crazy how much traffic is on ootlewah ringgold road now. Used to be nothing. Now there is always a line to get on E. Brainerd. But they added a high school and a bunch of neighborhoods.
