Democrats are now in real danger of becoming extinct in the South

Kentucky Democrats have a problem. They just lost the governor's mansion last month and now there's a very real chance that their control of the state House is slipping away. That's significant not just in Kentucky but nationally too; if Democrats lose control of the Kentucky state House, they will control a total of zero legislative chamber in the entire south.

"What has the Democratic Party done for poor, conservative Evangelical white people?" Farrier said. "And the answer is not much. On God, guns and gays, poor, white Evangelical conservatives would say the Democratic Party walked away from them, and not the other way around."

[Snip]

Yet another factor in Democrats' struggles in the south: Obama's unpopularity outside those East Coast Democratic enclaves. A Kentucky Democrat is no Massachusetts Democrat, and Obama isn't particularly liked in some Kentucky Democratic circles.

What the Washington Pest is saying is that folks in Kentucky don’t worship Obama like those in the Northeastern states.

Coal. Guns. Rewriting southern history. Jobs. War on white and southern culture, values, traditions.

Where is being a Democrat getting a southern Democrat these days?

Correct. And if you eliminate the crime in democrat regions of red states from the calculations, the overall state crime rate drops drastically.

That’s okay

They just become Republicans that work Democrat

Look at Mississippi. Thad and every other of the MS delegation from the GOP voted to fund Planned Parenthood etc.

The RATS OWN the large urban areas. The only one that I can think of in recent times was San Diego, but not sure what has happened in Mexifornia. All the large urban areas up and down the left coast is owned by the RATS.

Reddest county in Alabama? It's Baldwin (Political Skinny)

"Matt Simpson, chairman of the Baldwin GOP, told party members at a summer dinner on Thursday in Robertsdale that 97.13 percent of county voters in the March 13 primary election submitted Republican ballots."

Robertsdale is the hometown of Apple Computer president Tim Cook.

Same thing with the whole country. Every high-crime, high-poverty area in the country is run by DemocRats.

Suits me.
As long as volvo driving northern soccer moms and yuppies keep migrating and building Godawful suburban subdivisions on top of once pristine woodland, complete with a Starbucks in a stripmall, I’m afraid they aren’t going anywhere.

Well, there are plenty of Democrats in California to make up for any deficit in the South.

They are cashing out and moving there.

During the Dean campaign, dumping the South was the actual suggested strategy for the DNC.
