[Luis Gonzalez]

Are you saying that Strom was the Democratic Presidential candidate in '48?

[Republic of Texas]

He was a Democrat, and ran as a Dixiecrat, not a Dixiecan. After the election he went BACK to the DEMOCRATIC Party. The Dixiecrats were an offshoot of the DEMOCRAT Party, a fact that is conveniently missing from most liberal reporting on the subject. If you have some proof showing otherwise, I'd love to see it.
