Actually, I was thinking this may be the Democrats’ own “Southern Strategy”. By getting Republican Governors to agree to tear down the flag (that Democrats put up), they will disaffect enough Southerners against the GOP to get them to stay home in 2016, giving Hillary a clear path to the White House.

If anything, the removal of the battle flag might unite southerners in a determination to reclaim their heritage.

And I'm thinking that this is the southern governors taking one for the team by taking this at-the-very-least distracting issue off the table before the presidential candidates start getting questioned about it. The core southern electoral votes are plenty safe for Republicans even if people who care about the flag issue stay home.

Highly probable. How I wish the CBF would appear in front of every house & on every vehicle from one end of Dixie to the other.

I am wondering if satirizing/ ridiculing this might be the best way to go.

The only way I will stay home or rather skip the presidential section in the general election in November is if Donald Trump is the nominee. Otherwise you can be sure I will vote and you can be sure it will not be for Hillary or and of the other rat candidates
