14. False.
We have several options outside of the South.

The Gore states, plus Arizona, plus Nevada, plus Ohio, plus West Virginia, plus New Hampshire, plus Missouri.. these all total 315 electoral votes - 45 more than needed. So while there is limited room for comfort, it is most definitely possible.

But that does't mean that I agree with an abandon-the-South strategy. That's like letting your opponent in the 100-yard dash start on the 50-yard-line, at least. Not a very smart way to compete.

Still, my vengeful side would LOVE to see a Democrat win the Presidency without a single southern state.. hehe.. :evilgrin:
