In all fairness, the early 2000s vision of Democrats winning the South was very different to the current one. The former relied on winning back WWC Reagan-Clinton-Bush voters, while the latter is about taking advantage of demographic change and trends among college-educated suburbanites in select ‘New South’ states, such as Virginia and Georgia. The book was ultimately right that Blue Dogs in Arkansas and Tennessee were a lost cause for the Democrats, and not necessary to win a national majority.
