Edwards was the VP candidate in 2004. Didn’t help one bit. He and Kerry managed to lose Edwards’ home state of NC 73%/27% among whites.

May 7, 2008 at 11:53 PM #201089SDEngineerParticipantAnd as I pointed out, the Democrats don’t NEED the South anymore. You repubs can have it. We’ve made gains in the mountain states, and we own the West coast, New England, and have plenty of strength in the Great Lakes states. Do the math. The Dems don’t need a SINGLE Southern state anymore if they carry Ohio. If they can carry Colorado and New Mexico (which seems increasingly likely), they don’t even need Ohio.
The Southern strategy, by identifying your party with the hard right wing ideologues and the religious nutcases in the deep south has progressively cost your party the New England republicans and the economic conservative Republicans (no, cutting taxes without cutting spending is NOT an economically conservative strategy. Sad to say, supply side economics has been shown to be the economic black hole that knowledgable economists always knew it would be (there’s a reason George Bush Sr. – the last non-loonie Repub in high office – called it “voodoo economics”). But you do play the “fear politics” well. Unfortunately (for you), what most of us now fear is another 4 or 8 years of Republican economic policies.

May 7, 2008 at 11:54 PM #201095EugeneParticipantesmith…so then the answer is to concede to the racists?!
Unbelievable. Doesn’t matter who will be best for the country. We’ll just let the ignorant, backward people in the south tell us who we should vote for.
It’s time to turn the page.
The answer is to be realistic.
If that’s what it takes to end the war, stop playing world’s policeman, do a comprehensive health care reform, and start working towards equal access to higher education and energy independence, I will concede to every racist I meet.
