Poll should the DNC move its Convention out of North Carolina

[RZM]

57. This reminds me of Howard Dean's 50 state strategy and his Confederate flags comment

That's why I'm voting no. I think Dean's point was that Democrats shouldn't concede any ground to Republicans, even in places where Republicans are strong or social conservatism is king. Pulling the convention out of NC would give the opposite impression. It would send a message that the DNC isn't all that interested in the south and that if the people are going to do something like vote in amendment one, the Republicans can have them.

That's the opposite of what Dean intended. I think the subtle message of the Confederate flags comment was: 'There are a lot of people out there who hold beliefs that you will find abhorrent. But if we're going to win, we have to get some of them. And that's not impossible, because while those people won't agree with you on everything, you might be able to convince them to come around to the Democratic party on other issues.'
