Seems like the Southern Democratic party is literally become a "blacks only" party as Southern whites flee in droves to the GOP.

John Barrow was the last White Southern Dem at the federal level in Congress. He would have went in 2012 rather than 2014 had my district not ran the bumbling idiot Lee Anderson in 2012.

No, Barrow wasn't. There is Mark Warner, Joe Manchin, Charlie Crist, and Bill Nelson. They are white Southern Democrats at the federal level in Congress.

Allow me to rephrase that - Last White Southerner in the Deep South, and for most of the Upper South. Virginia has been turned to Greater DC, and Florida is no longer a Southern state south of Gainesville. (But the panhandle and Jacksonville can be considered Southern.) I consider WV to be culturally Southern compared to VA, but I can't exactly decide on how to pinpoint it.
