Early voting begins today in Tennessee where Hammock Inc. is located. We're not a swing state or a battleground state, which annoys me. I like to be wooed, although I made up my mind in January who would get my vote. Well, truthfully, I made up my mind while still in the womb 56 years ago.

Since I'm a junkie for presidential elections, I checked this map from wikipedia to see how Tennessee has voted in each election since 1952, the year of my birth.

Tennessee has voted for every winner, except John Kennedy, in every Presidential election since 1952.

The other tidbit about Tennessee voting that I find intriguing is that if Tennessee had voted for native son Al Gore Jr. in 2000, he would have won the election. The Florida vote would not have been an issue.
