Posted by | Apr 17, 2015 | |

I saw another one of those commentaries where the Democratic talking head is explaining how difficult it is for a Democrat to win down in the new Republican south.  Reorganization ideas like the Blue South Project pop up about every year with that new plan to reinvigorate Democrats in the solid red states like Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, South Carolina, Georgia – Seriously? Its not a complicated problem – just be patient, just wait – demographic shifts will be the only thing that reinvigorates Democrats in the South.  Racist, angry, old white men and women have to finally give up...
