So you think Inez Tannebaum will win SC?

I have no clue who is even running in GA on the DEM side!
You are forgetting that the South is not just about textiles, globalism has brought thousands of high paying jobs to the south. yes, jobs have been lost. Mostly $6 and hour ones that have been replaced by $15 and hour ones.

Here in NC it still is. And these aren't $6 an hour jobs either. Many are over $15 an hour. Tell that to the good folks of Kannapolis that just lost over 6,000 jobs in one area. Or the 3,000 jobs lost in Winston-Salem from tobacco when the Republican controlled Congress passed the tobacco buyout bill that included a 'no-tax' tax increase on the manufacturing side. NC unfortunately is a tossup state in more ways than one. And the Republicans have no one to blame but theirselves.

And as for your 'high paying jobs' from globalism you can come to Raleigh NC and tell us all about those as well. Price of land has absolutely skyrocketed from the technology sector in RTP and the jobs available to native North Carolinians is dwindling. Of course you could always believe our idiot governor (D) and our worthless Senator (R), the Tweedledum and TweedleDee of biotechnology, that somehow believes all these ex-textile and ex-tobacco workers are going to morph overnight into biotechnicians at the local community college
