I’ve been in TN since Friday. Just got back tonight.  On the drive down and back I was shocked by the lack of Trump signs. Not saying they didn’t exist but I got off I-75 in KY and head southwest on the smaller highways for 3 hours and you see lots of country.  Lots of political signs for locals but no large displays for Trump. Make of that what you will.  No I am not suggesting KY or TN turn blue. Just speaking to overall enthusiasm.

Didn't drive on 75/40 west of Knoxville I take it.

I'm surprised by the lack of political signs in general in my area. I don't see many Trump or Harris signs.

My wife and I are starting a drive tomorrow morning. Frankfort KY tomorrow night; Johnson City TN Wednesday; Athens GA Thursday; Kathleen (Warner Robins) GA Friday; Chattanooga TN Saturday; Louisville KY Sunday; then home. Combination color show drive and going to support our poor nephew who is a coach for an 0-10 high school football team—it’s their final game of the season. Will be taking lots of state roads through mountains. Will be interesting to see the sign representation and, if you want, I can check in with updates.

Rural New Hampshire has Trump signs all over the place...

On the other hand, the young woman vote is stong at Brandeis University.  They probably hate him more than we do here and they will all be voting.  100%.  If he wins, they'll be protesting hard for four years.   

 

They’ll stop protesting once they get shot by active duty troops.

I kinda referenced this the other day, but the fact that his campaign is messaging more of an Atlanta/Suburbs approach to campaigning in Georgia this time around is sort of telling... it's almost like an acknowledgment that they (correctly) think it's going to be difficult to wring more votes out of the rest of the state because the rural areas are already maxed out.

Not criticizing the approach, it's the right one to take (you go where you can theoretically get more votes), but public polling aside (Georgia is seen as one of his better states) it projects a bit of weakness in their position as well.

Road 111 goes from Chattanooga thru my family’s north of there but goes a bit east. Will be interested to know your route.  One of favorite part of my trips down there is when I get off I-75.  I will say this about our southern friends.  It’s immediately evident how nice they are. I stop every 90 minutes to 2 hours and every person I encounter  says hello and is gracious.
