Jesse Jackson has recognized a truth that Nixon realized nearly forty years ago, and started to build his momentum to victory in 1968 from that base.

But it involved changing the hearts and minds of the people of the South. Once solid and unshakeable in their faith in the Democrat party, the reality set in when Johnson proved to all that it made no difference what Democrat got elected, the war in Viet Nam would go on until somebody had the testicular fortitude to stand up and say it was being managed poorly. The Democrats had neutered themselves, over and over, and the majority of the voters in the South came to despise that.

Jesse believes he has the key to winning a majority of the vote in the South, by appealing to the Americans of African descent. Unfortunately, there is a bigger minority out there, and they are nothing like a reliable Democrat constituency.

You started the Southern Strategy too late, Jesse.

Sounds like a partisan, taxable organization to me.

You're so right. JJ registering prisoners, parollees, and the dead.

Crack is whack and Jesse's been smoking some if he truly believe that blacks in the South can sway the election.
