Assuming that Thompson would be running against Hillary, identifying him as Southern doesn’t hurt us. Does anybody think that Hillary would carry any states besides the NE, Illinois, and the west coast? This article is onesided. Just as the Republican party is considered the southern one, the Democrat party is considered the Northeast liberal one, and that has it’s own drawbacks. The midwest (flyover country) is the tossup region, and if the choice is Hillary, Thompson will win hands down.

I agree. The whole Northeast thinks we are rubes.

True. And about southerners in general being repelled by the north, how does the author explain Clinton, Gore (who won the northeast), LBJ, and Carter? Thompson may have a problem in that he's a Republican, and northerners may not look fondly on that right now, but I hardly think his southern roots are going to be that much of an impediment if the other men I mentioned didn't have any trouble. Bush's problem is that he's not as articulate as all the above men; Thompson doesn't have that problem.
