Pryor is decidedly not a Southern Democrat in the traditional sense of the term. He is an Obama Democrat and his voting record proves it. His campaign thinks that Arkansas voters are too stupid to understand the difference.

[Captain Peter Blood]

There haven't been any “Traditional Southern Democrats” in over 30 years in the south.
Once upon a time the Democrats elected to office in the South were pretty Conservative. Since the 1972 Democratic Convention when the SDS and Extreme Liberals took over the party was transformed in the course of time into one more of a Socialist Bent.
If you were a Conservative in the Democratic Party you were marked for extinction. So now as a consequence if you wanted to run for office and be a Conservative of any flavoring you ran as a Republican.
I do not think there is any Democrat in the House or Senate that by definition would be a Conservative or anything close to it.
