It is painful to remember. That was a powerful speech about the Southern Strategy. I am a Southerner, and I never heard of Nixon's strategy here. It really opened my eyes.

A lot of people never knew of it....and if they had let him get it out....a lot of people in the south would have listened. I was furious at Edwards' comments about don't you dare tell us how to handle race down here. It was rude and uncalled for.

A lot of the Southern vote could have been won if this rational sane speech could have gotten play. But it did not.
