which is really a misnomer since it applies nationwide now. In the south, it too decades to fully pry them away from their tradition of voting for Democrats and by W in 2000 it was set in stone. Maybe it's a case of getting these people NOT to vote, because I don't think they're reachable from our perspective. Unfortunately, they will plague us for several more presidential cycles until enough die off, blunting their influence.
