The south isn't the problem for McCain, he will sweep the former Confederacy states plus KY, although FL and VA are on the fence at the moment. It's the so-called battleground states and the rust belt where Obama's star is suddenly rising and McCain is now in deep trouble. The MSM sees this economic disaster as a gift falling out of Heaven itself and is going all out in wall to wall coverage drumming it into the subliminal minds of the voters. They know that the people in many of those states are fools enough to believe that the Democrats are better at managing the economy than the Pubs, and they will play that up to the max right up to Nov 4. When all is said and done, the state of the economy is almost always the deciding factor in how the majority votes, and the MSM will make sure that it remains that way this time.
Frankly, as much as I hate to even allow myself to think this, I believe McCain is screwed by the timing of this economic breakdown, and for the first time in the campaign I now believe Obama will be the next president. As if the economic situation isn't bad enough, our nation's troubles are about to be compounded by Obama and his party's disastrous policies on almost every issue that faces us, the most important being national security. God help us, PLEASE.
You misunderstood me or I didn't make myself clear enough. It's the white Dems from all areas and regions of the country that will DOOM Obama. The Dixiecrats of the South will vote McCain but so will the whites in other parts of the nation from the Dem party! Anyplace that isn't locked into a liberal mindset or controlled by the mindless extreme liberals is going to get in that booth and .... blink.
