How do we make the South blue?

[Taverner]

And by that I don't mean sing them a sorrowful ballad :) (couldn't resist)

But seriously - how can we turn the South blue

I know there are a great deal of progressives, leftists and liberals there, but the truth is they are outnumbered by the conservatives.

More than just getting our guys to get out and vote will need to be done.

Hearts and Minds will have to be changed, attitudes will have to be re-shaped.

For example: to combat homophobia in the South, I think positive exposure will be our best weapon. How many folks here were homophobic in their youth, only to have that change when they actually met a homosexual? I'm in that camp.
