I find it very interesting that the one against is from Memphis, while the ones that are for it all seem to be from the Johnson City area…

Jennifer, that’s because he’s a shill who owns a liquor store in Memphis & is on the Tennessee Wine & Spirits Retailers Association board of directors (or was in 2009 at least): http://www.twsra.com/boardlinks.html

Good catch Thomas. Bob just wants his pockets filled with more cash.
If you poll the TN public, the percentage of those wanting wine carried in grocery stores is significantly higher (based on various articles/polls I have read in the past year or so)
