Kerry didn't win some of those midwestern states by very much.
John Edwards certainly didn't help.
The Toons are taking their party down with them. Fine by me.
Their as useless as Chicken Shit on a pump handle is one of my favorites and the Dems are certainly that.
The face of the Democrat Party is so ugly it could spook a stick-horse.
Michael Moore is an anchor both literally and figuratively.
actually the democrats lost 82% of the counties nationwide so the trend the LA times is attributing to the south is valid nationwide as well...
Remember when Kerry picked him and all the MSM was so sure he would help the Dems in the south. Idiots.
Like goose grease on a door knob, as my dad would say.
His parents, southern Democrats, would roll over in their grave at what their party turned into and Dad was sort of a homeless voter. Didn't like Bush, didn't like Kerry ... so he voted for Laura Bush ;-)

Wait a minute, this doesn't make sense. The Donks won 22 seats in 1964, but that was the year the "white backlash" against the Civil Rights Act helped the Republicans. If the "white backlash" was helping the Republicans, how did the Donks win 22 seats?
Of course, it could be because it was the Southern Democrats who stood firm against the Civil Rights Act in 1964, as they had throughout the 1950s and early 60s. Perhaps the "white backlash" was rewarding the Democrats, who had stood foursquare against desegregation for the previous 100 years.
But you tell a reporter these days that the Democrats were the segregationists back then, they'll look at you like you have two heads.
In Spite of the NEA and other thought police, the South still raises Patriotic Sons and Daughters willing to defend their country - a small but distinctive difference.
The only thing Republicans have to take into account is 70 million baby boomers retiring in the next 8-10 years and a lot of them will move south.
There are only two Democrat families in our neighborhood of mostly retirees and one of those families is from New Jersey.
But you can not stop Puerto Rican immigration. They are American citizens. And these are people of great fecundity who vote rat. Central Florida is quickly becoming one large barrio containing enclaves of English speakers. And then there's the other immigration problem we can not stop...the NYers.
Yup. If they nominate any other candidate, they will lose on the issues, big time. The mass of people just don't support the top-down, big government Democrat approach to everything, anymore.
And, yes, GWB is no prize in this department, but you gotta admit, the Donks are worse. Much worse.
But with Hillary! they can run an absolutely content-free campaign. It will be personality driven from the git go. All discussion of policy will be reduced to hand-waving and pointing to a Senate record that is manufactured for the specific purpose of innoculating Hillary! from the obvious fact that she is a raving lunatic Liberal.
Hillary! 2008 will make the recent campaign look like a love-fest by comparison. It will be Moonbats on Parade from start to finish. The Republican nominee, whoever he (or she!) is will be demonized beyond belief, and the LibMedia will carry water for Hillary! at every stage.
It will be the Main Event. I think, in the end, the Republicans will win, but it will be a wild ride!
Odd, it's really a catchy tune in this context. ;)
Even though I've recently moved out of FL, I think my tagline still applies (at least to the second immigration problem). :-)
Wow, good point. I never even considered that as a possibility.
As a native Floridian I understand the fear. But, The FDR/New Deal/Jewish/socialist/New Yorker transplants in South Florida are dying off. The new immigrants, who settle for instance in The Villages, are Republican. The vibrant Cuban demographic in S. Fl., is solidly Republican. We just elected the first Cuban-American (Mel Martinez) to the U.S. Senate. Fl. will become more Conservative.
