With a new poll showing Republican Bob Corker's lead over Democrat Harold Ford Jr. surging to double digits days before Tuesday's election, both U.S. Senate campaigns scrambled Saturday to keep voters engaged and motivated.

The latest Mason-Dixon Tennessee Poll - conducted for The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, the Chattanooga Times-Free Press, MSNBC and McClatchy Newspapers - showed Corker leading Ford 50 percent to 38 percent among 625 likely voters.

The poll was taken by telephone Wednesday-Friday. Two weeks ago, the poll gave Corker a 45-43 lead. For Corker's campaign, the Mason-Dixon poll was another "credible independent poll" that showed their candidate leading Ford by anywhere from 5 to 10 points. But to Ford's campaign, it was another example of a "flawed" public poll that underrepresents Democrats, blacks and young voters and fails to account for the deluge in early voting that shows Democratic turnout up as much as 30 percent.

Please tell me my fellow Tennesseans aren't this stupid... please. :cry:
