You really believe that the check kiting scandal turned the south into republican voters? Is that what the colleges are teaching now?
I have no clue what the colleges teach, I did not waste my money on one. I instead got an education at the library.
BTW I was on the front lines in 90-95 working campaigns locally. Talked to many folks, lots of Democrats and got lots of folks locally to switch parties. Check Kiting was usually the clincher!
