Why did William Bryan carry the south? It seems like this is when the southern realignment should have occured.

Bryan was, after all, very economically left-wing.

The South was economically left-wing? They voted for Grover Cleveland three times. When did they become right-wing?

South Carolina is definitely not populist at all. I don't know about Mississippi and Louisiana, but they conistently elect conservative senators who are big advocates of tax reform.

Um, no. Part of the modern southern strategy is emphasizing tax cuts.

I don't know what heavily populist Democrat state senates you're talking about. South Carolina sure as hell doesn't have one. Louisiana's Democrats are basically the same as the Republicans.
