It Makes a Difference to the Sheep

INTERESTING OBSERVATION ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE SOUTH

“...four times -- 1972, 1984, 1988, and 2000 -- the Democratic candidate couldn’t carry a single Southern state. Not one! Zero! Zilch! And two times, 1968 and 1980, only one Southern state favored the Democratic candidate.”

“Al Gore became only the third Democrat since the Civil War to lose every state in the Old Confederacy, plus two border states as well. George McGovern and Walter Mondale were the others. But they had an excuse: they were crushed in national landslides [...] Gore’s loss was different. Had he won any state in the Old Confederacy or one more border state, he would be president today. But it didn’t happen. Gore lost his home state of Tennessee, Bill Clinton’s home state of Arkansas and the Democratic bastion of West Virginia. Even Michael Dukakis -- hardly a son of the South -- didn’t manage to lose there.”

There's plenty more where that came from.
