John Bel might invigorate Louisiana Democrats, but it probably won't cross borders.
I could see a Democrat winning the Governorship in Georgia or Florida in 2018, but the other southron states i just don't see it - Alabama is too far gone at this point, South Carolina has a strong local party and the potential of either Trey Gowdy or Tim Scott running which makes it an automatic DOA, Tennessee is lol Tennessee.
And even in Florida and Georgia, both Governors potentially would look way different than John Bel Edwards - Georgia's potential Democrat Gov would be appealing to college educated whites and olds (i.e. Michelle Nunn or Jason Carter) while I suspect the next Democrat Governor of Florida is going to try to lower the margins in Northern and Central Florida while sweeping Southron Florida (I suspect John Morgan is the candidate to do that, or if he doesn't opt to do it, Gwen Graham).
Well said. I agree with everything here.
