NC listed as weak Dem?

Only if this election is a repeat of 2008 where enough “conservatives” bolted to Barr and handed the state to Obama.

Affect or effect?

No, we are not seeing the erosion of the Solid South. This Sh-t is getting old

My worry is about my state, Virginia. Northern Virginia is so infested with government workers that it is hard to overcome.

Yes, the Solid South is going the way of the Dodo. Thank both the Rs and Ds who adore unfettered illegal immigration. Nov. 8, 2016 is our final shot to hold on to our nation.

My Father was a yellow dog democrat. He would vote for a yellow dog rather than a republican.

Jimmy Carter converted him. He voted for Reagan and never looked back.

The real issue is the immigration of Leftists to Southern urban centers, starting to outnumber the “native Southerners” occupying the remaining 98% of the region’s geography.

NC and FL are purple. The rest of the South is Red.

25 New Yorkers a day are moving to NC, and have been doing so for twenty years.

Then it’ll be 2020, then 2024, and on and on.
Liberalism-socialism-communism is like a creeping virus slime, just smearing itself into an even larger area, everytime you try to wipe it up.
Seeing the American electorate become so corrupted and so infected, so quickly, is a stunner.

Why do you think Obama is cramming all of those refugees into certain parts of the country?

CNN, from Atlanta, is feeding the Georgia is Going Hillary meme. WSB dutifully reports it as news.

I don’t believe it.

I live in Florida’s First Congressional District. It is generally regarded as the most conservative in the nation.

Where is that? I’m from Jax. originally. The Northern part of FL and the panhandle are still conservative.

We let in too many Yankees and illegals. Happily no one wants to live in Alabama. It’s real hot, full of bugs and rednecks. You all just forget about us, you will be happier elsewhere.
