Louisana Election nerves

[LeftyLover]

If the GOP wallops our party in Louisana does anyone else think that there will be a momentum shift?
In the past few weeks we have been smashed in California, Mississippi, and Kentucky. If Louisana falls as well do we have to question something?
What is it about our message that isn't resonating with the unwashed of fly over America? Do these people just not get it?
Yeah, I'm nervous about what could happen in 04.
We have lost ground in almost every election lately.

Dean has a lot of momentum and will probably win the nomination but will he get the message out there enough to win in November 04?

1. I Don't Think Cali Is Part Of Fly Over America....

I flew into LAX a couple of years ago.... A couple of more minutes in the air and I would have been in Mexico....

2. True, Cali isn't Flyover

With San Fran being the Mecca of liberal thought, I'd say they aren't doing enough to get the message to the heathens of middle America who vote GOP.

6. The only people I have ever seen use the phrase "flyover america"

are right wingers mocking lefties.

3. I am at the point now where I feel that America will get the government

it deserves, period! (As Bush would say.)

4. A sad but true reality.

To me it is an addiction, and the only way things will change is when people individually hit rock bottom. I pray that the country doesn't have to hit rock bottom also.

What is the forcast in LA?

5. California was a fluke

moderate republican in combination with an atrocious campain by a moderate dem who didn't take issue with Arnold on anything substanitive.


The South will just go repuke or Southern budget cutting conservative dem(Zell Miller) till they see starving babies, or worse.

7. Are you trying to get on Bill O'Rielly?

all this "great unwashed flyover america" stuff is bound to qualify.

8. Part of the problem

is with the contempt that urban liberals show for the middle of America. They are not so dumb that they don't notice it. And they resent it. There are plenty of progrressives in these states.

There is also the fact that not everything that is right and/or useful in a big city is right and/or useful in a small city, small town, or a rural area. I don't know, a better policy might be, instead of coming up with some big program geared to the East Coast, to instead privide for progressive programs tailore to the specific localities.

This would mean electing more of our people at local, and state, levels, of course, but they could avoid offending the locality by being sensitive to local circumstances.

9. I don't believe this

I admit this poster is contemptuous but I don't see this in real life. I am from Iowa. We are rural and vote for Democratic Presidents. The problem is the religious right in SBC parts of rural America. They vote repuke because of evangelicals. In real life dems pader to the South, when they should be taking constructive steps to reduce the power of the religious right and the National Association of Religious Broadcasters.
