Southern States Are Not Going to Go Democratic in the Election

[RainDog]

so what is the big deal that the majority of whites in those states are acting as they always act? I mean, pundits talking about this being a problem.. as in Obama not carrying the whites in the south... yea d'oh.

(yes, there are good democrats in the south...if you don't know what I mean, you haven't followed elections since Reagan used the Southern Strategy.)

Neither democratic nominee is going to take the electoral votes for those states. No matter that Dean doesn't want to dismiss them. The truth is that too many ppl in the south are fundamentalist jerk off idiots who vote for republicans b/c they think, no matter how many repukes snort meth with his/her hook up, that the repukes are moral and the liberals are godless commies who want to make you marry a gay person.

I am soooo glad I no longer live in the south. I feel sorry for any child who has to grow up in the south. that's my truth. I lived it. If you don't like it, you can tell about your wonderful experience too, okay?

1. I think Georgia has a good chance of going Democratic this time

Just from the number of people who've transplanted to Atlanta.

Other than that, I think you are right.

3. Absolutely, Georgia can go Dem in November.

Anyone that says otherwise has never lived here; at least not in the past 15 years.

4. Old people die in the south ... young people are born ... every generation is more liberal

Sorry, I have great hope for the good people of the south.

5. Southern Strategy?

Didn't Nixon start that?

6. Hillary Inc wants to dimish Obama's victories and the MSM plays along

Obama wins SC? That only happened because he is black.
Obama wins WY? That only happened because it was a caucus.
Obama wins VT? That only happened because of latte libs.
Wins KS? Who cares? That is a red state we won't win anyway.
Wins ME? Who cares? That is a blue state we will win anyway.
Obama wins WI? Well, uh, um. Isn't Ohio coming up or something?

Hillary wins TX (primary) by 4%? What a comeback victory!!! What a horserace this is!!!

7. Southeast states are a possibility except maybe SC and Fla.

Best chance in awhile if you ask me.
