That doesn't mean that the Democratic voters in those states should be written off like what people are saying about the Democrats in other Red states in the American South and Midwest.

Sanders is scared shitless of diverse electorates. nt LexVegas Feb 2016 #1
Please justify this (as yet) baseless and unsubstantiated assertion. Thanks! JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #3
See results on Tuesday. nt LexVegas Feb 2016 #4
That still wouldn't prove that he is personally afraid of them. So you have nothing. n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #6
See historic African American margin in SC and where Sanders is right now. nt LexVegas Feb 2016 #7

I'm not taking the advice of South Carolina Democrats. They haven't won a single statewide election. w4rma Feb 2016 #15
AH.... Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #16
No that's not true about West Virginia or Oklahoma. There are statewide Democrats in both. (nt) w4rma Feb 2016 #18

Sanders brings West Virginia back into play. Clinton loses it, completely. (nt) w4rma Feb 2016 #21
I don't agree with you but I do respect your position. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #23

People said the same about Barack Obama in 2008 when he was winning these same Red states. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #25

Again, the same happened to Obama in 2008 when he was winning Red states in the primaries. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #26
