This is both for folks who believe in the south and its Democratic potential, and for folks who are writing the south off.
This is from the new SUSA poll.
How stupid is the south? Bush's puppets? Dumb rednecks? Closet progressives?
Think again yank and coastal allies...
BEHOLD THE RED SOUTH
1. Alabama - 45% 51% -6%
2. Louisiana - 45% 52% -7%
3. Missisippi- 44% 53% -9%
4. Georgia - 43% 55% -12%
5. Tennessee - 42% 55% -13%
6. S Carolina- 39% 57% -18%
7. W Virginia- 39% 57% -18%
8. N Carolina- 39% 58% -19%
9. Kentucky - 39% 59% -20%
10. Arkansas - 38% 60% -22%
11. Virginia - 37% 60% -23%
How does that compare to his number across the south in last year elections?
The first number is the % Bush beat Kerry. The second number is the difference in Bush's current approval rating as of the last SUSA poll.
1. Alabama +26 -32
2. Louisiana +15 -22
3. Mississippi +20 -29
4. Georgia +17 -29
5. Kentucky +20 -40
6. W Virginia +13 -31
7. N Carolina +12 -31
8. Virginia +8 -31
9. S Carolina +17 -35
10. Tennessee +14 -27
11. Arkansas +9 -31
That is an average drop of -30.72% for Bush
Stop calling us stupid and telling us to fuck off. Thats why we wont even make eye contact with the Democratic party.
HERES THE SECRET...
If we take these things in BLUE then we take the country.
The immediate plus is that you win WV's 5 electoral votes.
But, for those who follow southern politics on the state level, you know thats not all...
Winning Southern VA wins you Virginia's 13 electoral votes.
Winning Western NC wins you North Carolinas 15 electoral votes .
Hell, East Tennessee might even shore up a Democrat in Tennesee and get you 11 electoral votes from Tennessee
That is, combined, around 45 electoral votes.
STOP IGNORING US!!!! THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS ARE THE KEY!!!
