Democrats Play Offense in the South in Hopes of Turning Some Red States Blue [Riiiight]

As Democrats gather in this Southern city on the eve of the convention, we look at the changing political landscape of the South with Democratic Senator Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Kareem Crayton. He's a professor at the University of North Carolina School of Law, and he studies race in politics.

And we thank you both for being with us...

They would have to register every dead person in the South to be successful, and their Voter Fraud Division doesn’t want to work that hard.

There is lots of disenchantment with Obuggery in NOVA. The indies absolutely despise him like the GOP. There will be enough to defeat him with GOP, Indy and crossover Dems.

Song: Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue

With apologies to Artist: Crystal Gayle
Album: Best of Crystal Gayle

I don’t know when I’ve been so blue
Don’t know what’s come over you
You’ve found someone new
And don’t it make my red states blue

I’ll be fine when you’re gone
I’ll just cry all night long
Say it isn’t true
And don’t it make my red states blue

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don’t let me cry
Say anything but don’t say goodbye

I didn’t mean to treat you bad
Didn’t know just what I had
But honey now I do
And don’t it make my red states
Don’t it make my red states
Don’t it make my red states blue

(repeat final three lines twice)

Okay, okay, okay - Obama will take Maryland. I stand corrected. Let’s say, he will not take a state south of the Ohio River and East of the Mississippi. The SOUTH.

The Democrats would have had better luck in VA. But NC is going GOP this year as is IND. That leaves FL and OH. I don’t think they’re going to win there this election.

I see CO and NV as the only states the Democrats keep this year thanks to changing demographics.

“The ONLY states he MIGHT get is Virginia and that is going to be tough. Florida is going to be tough too but probably easier than Virginia.”

That’s all he needs, and the polls I’ve seen within the past few days put Obama slightly ahead in Virginia. Hard to believe that the Capital of The Confederacy has meandered so far from its roots.

Without Virginia, Romney loses.

When we visited NoVa in April, it looked like a lot of America USED TO LOOK.

The govt money pouring in has created a large zone of false prosperity.

I can see why it’s solidly in the Obama column.
