I've never done a diary here before, and don't really know whether this is the format to try this sort of thing, but I'm really interested in making sure that progressive Democrats constest the GOP for the hearts, minds, and votes of people in the southern states.
Bob Moser's book "Blue Dixie" is an excellent discussion of how the Democratic Party might go about really fighting for the southern states. I'm interested in starting a discussion of the ideas in the book, chapter by chapter.
