Re: For a southern state (none / 0)

I think you are absolutely right.

The Dems need to jump into the deep end in the South. They are getting filtered reports of Dems on the national level. The local news is a different kettle of fish. I think the only reason that the truth came out in NOLA because it was a Democratic city and the local news was awsome... so the national news had to follow.

Six months of retail campaigning in the south still does not mean our message will get out if Dems once again run to the right... but it is a good start of them just being there. I think Dean and Sharpton were the only ones to fo to Mississippi in the primaries...

Besides telling us how to live, think, marry, pray, vote, invest, educate our children and, die, the GOP has done a fine job of getting gov't out of our lives.

Southern states are key to any win - esp. Florida,
and electoral rich states like Texas.

Florida is not really a southern state (none / 0)

The panhandle is, but the rest of the state is not.  Most of the rest of the south doesn't matter for the following reason: If our guy wins many southern states, he would have been ahead enough in other swing states (Iowa, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, Ohio, Florida), that he wouldn't need any southern states to win.  Some of the borderline ones (Arkansas, North Carolina, Lousiana) might be useful, but for the most part, I favor a western strategy over a southern one.
