  •  A tiny shred of hope (none / 0)

    Maybe, maybe not. Southern Illinois is closer in spirit to Little Rock and Birmingham than it is to Chicago...yet people there voted for a black man with a funny name.

    There's hope.

    •  Are we winning the south now?? (none / 1)

      The answer is no, and we didnt even need to to capture this campaign, it all came down to ohio.  I think we need to stop looking to the south for our votes because they aren't going to happen.  If the Dems want to look anywhere its out west to states like Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada .  These states are going to continue to grow every year, and at the same time get younger and younger, and we need a serious democratic campaign out there.  I'm talking about governorships, and state parties.  Thats where the Dems can make up ground.  Forget about the states like Mississippi, and Alabama, and even Arkansas.
