Reply #4: I'm of the opinion that we can win the South [View All]

We just need to inspire more blacks to vote, for one thing.
And, for another, we need to get more media in the rural areas.
I don't know how to accomplish the second goal without someone either purchasing radio stations and airing AAR and/or encouraging more people to get their news online instead of watching Faux.
As a Southern city-dweller, I can tell you that, just like in the North, most cities lean blue down here. My own city went blue, even though our county went red (causing the whole county to go red) - it's just that there are more and larger cities in the Northeast and on the west coast.
And, I can point directly to rightwing talk radio as the causal effect of this: most commuters from rural to city-area employment are only treated to rightwing radio. This has caused the red/blue split we see between rural and urban areas - because it's not really a north/south thing.
