Lately there has been a spate of diaries floating the idea that Progessives should dump the South (and / or Florida in particular) and go elesewhere to seek the Holy grail of a Progressive Majority.
Is it time to vote for cloture on this argument? For my answer, see this Dairy title, or follow me...
My apologies in advance to these I am about to leave out. I'm sure you will correct me in the comments. The list of Diaries espousing this idea iincludes these:
BPK's 2008: The 49 State Strategy?
klondikes Write off the South - do it now
from the puggle's Do Democrats Need the South? (Updated)
ResponsibleAccountables' South needs to be cut off like a drunk (ref. Kos FP post)
Even Kos' The Southern Party discusses the need for the South. To be fair, Kos at worst sends a mixed message about the South. But it points out the nature of the debate.
Really folks, the purpose of this Diary is NOT to debate whether we should od sholu not Dump the South. The sole purpose oof this Diary is to pose this question:
Should debate on whehter or not to Dump The South be closed?
To illustrate why I believe it should, I'm only going to pimp these two diaries:
undercover calicos' Southern Kossacks Get Uppity
and my own effort How Florida Got Screwed in 2006
To me, the answer is clear, this debate should be closed. The South has won.
