US Political Party Survivor (In Round 7)

[Deldem]

My main reason was the Southern Democrats.

Which for the most part now do not exist, at least not in the way they did in the past. They basically are the Southern Republicans now. In fact, a large number of people in the South even today were actually once registered Democrats- take Governor Rick Perry or former Senator Phil Gramm, for example.

The Southern Democrats that are left are more like their Northern counterparts than earlier Southern Democrats. Take me for example- I'm certainly not a classical Southern Dem.

I think he's referring more to people like BushOklahoma and Dave Hawk- the populist types. Rick Perry and Phil Gramm focus more on their economic conservatism than social issues anyways, and therefore have nothing in common with Democrats. Southern Democrats typically refer to the Dixiecrat days of the New Deal Coalition- labor supporting economic liberals that are very religious and socially conservative (often racist).

Oh they definitely are both very socially conservative. It's just not as noticeable if you're not living there. When you look at it, the last wave of Southern Dems (those elected between roughly 1960 and 1990), they are pretty conservative both economically and socially.

But on a person-to-person level, most of the Republicans I know (around 70%) are Republicans due to social issues, and I live in a fairly well-off area. I'd estimate that about 40% of that group is moderate-to-liberal economically. Trust me, they're descendants of Southern Dems. I realize this is purely anecdotal, but I feel it's somewhat relevant.

My main reason was the Southern Democrats.

You live in California, home of the most vile Democrats ever to exist (bar one). I actually hope to hold that seat in a few years.

How will you go about doing that?

How will you go about doing that?

By appealing to Hispanic farm workers and Republican suburbs. Once I fine tune my Spanish, it probably won't be very difficult. A Republican holds that seat right now that is far more conservative than I.
