Forget the South
I've been watching the Democratic primaries with considerable amusement. What a confederacy of dunces. It was particularly fun watching Dean get tangled in a Confederate flag several weeks ago. An article in Slate says what I've been thinking for a long time: Why are the Democrats so worried about the South anyway? Face it. The South is Republican. Now get on with your lives ...
To quote:
"Since 2000, many Democrats have questioned quietly why they should expend so much effort trying to win votes in what is now a solidly Republican region. The Democrats' ceaseless courtship of Southern votes has fostered an unhealthy sense of entitlement. Southerners now consider it their God-given right to supply Democrats with presidential candidates or, failing that, to force non-Southern candidates to discuss Him using an alien evangelical vocabulary."
