I heard something on the way home..Its not good when a democrat cant carry a southern state anymore....Gore couldnt carry his OWN southern state in 2000, Edwards couldnt do it in 2004. Heck Bush won 36 of the 58 counties in California and 39 of the 62 counties in NewYork (I just picked states on each coast with a high electoral count)
The democratic party its not what it was in Kennedy's time, it seems to me they really dont hold with that way of thinking anymore.

click on the past elections tab and start over at the left in 1948 and see how democratic the south was until the 1964 election..... Maybe the dem party needs to take a look and remember what values and politics kept them popular and start re evaluating from there
