Mississippi, and the PBS program Need to Know did an analysis of this by pointing out that, basically, the Republicans can't rely on "Southern Strategy" or Lindsay Graham's "angry white guys" anymore as part of their base. It's one of the reasons why Republicans are all lathered up over immigration "reform" and it's not just about Mexicans. Refugees from warm Middle Eastern/North African climes have settled in the southeast and it makes Republican "Southern strategists" squirm like crazy.

Need to Know: America by the Numbers




So now Clara is backing off the southern strategy claim.  You guys need to figure out what talking points are still valid.
A reminder for kentay:
I fully support going back to ALL, that says ALL THE CLINTON TAX and spend policies that led to the economic boom in the second half of the 90's.
