Reply #15: We don't have any white men in the south anymore [View All]

What people forget is that we have lost a TON of ground over the last four years. Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennesee, and Virginia all have two GOP senators. All of those states have a GOP Governor except NC, Tennesee, and Virginia. Neither the NC Governor nor the Tennesee Governor have any really exceptional talent like Clinton did, both are boring speakers. Warner (Governor of Virginia) is a possibility but I have some doubts about him. Louisiana has one dem senator and a dem gov both are lightweights and both are women. The only other southern white male officeholders that I can think of are Mark Pryor who was elected in 2002 so chances are slim that he'll run and Bill Nelson of Florida who may very well loose his re-election. The guy that a lot of people really had their eye on was Roy Barnes, Gov of Georgia, who lost because of the stupid confederate flag issue and because of Diebold machines.
