Can the Democrats finally stop chasing their (Southern male) white whale?
by digby
They're almost there. In my piece this morning at Salon I explore the Democratic party's relentless attempts to win back the conservative, rural, Southern, white voter --- and the fact that it may finally be over:
[I]f those conservative, white Southern male voters ever wake up to the fact that their enemies aren’t feminazis, African-Americans or Latinos and figure out just who it is who’s really keeping them down, I’m quite sure the Democrats would be proud to have them back in the fold. Until then Bubba’s going to be the heart and soul of the GOP. He’s their problem now.
It's taken many decades to finally get some clarity on this and understand that you can't be all things to all people.
