“And Dems sawed off the South a long time ago.”
Tell them that. Obama won in North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida.
North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Virginia are governed by Democrats.
They hold Senate seats in Louisiana, Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, and Arkansas. Both US Senate seats in Virgina and Arkansas, for that matter.
Even the Mountain West, which has traditionally been far more loyal to Republicans than has the South, is splintered.
That’s because they are winning.
You make my point. Election are cyclical.
