Southern voters tend to be more Conservative, that's why we get DINOs there all the time Dragonfli Apr 2016 #42
Cringe...Sander's support calling southern voters DINOs...the irony...n/ter Henhouse Apr 2016 #105

Sorry, that statement was very much on message for the Sanders campaign. merrily Apr 2016 #72
He's correct here, though. Fawke Em Apr 2016 #98
Sanders should take care not to verbalize a marginalization of Southern States Sheepshank Apr 2016 #44
I don't think he's marginalizing them. hollowdweller Apr 2016 #60
Does Hillary marginalize Utah? She didn't campaign in Utah primary nor did Obama in 2008 GE imagine2015 Apr 2016 #66

Baloney. Southern states go Republican in the general is the point. merrily Apr 2016 #74
Are you for real....There's a lot more than the presidential election at stake... Henhouse Apr 2016 #95

It means he's trying...desperately..to divide Democrats. nt msanthrope Apr 2016 #14
You mean you think he is now doing PowerToThePeople Apr 2016 #21
And Hillary is bringing in the neocons. Robert Kagan already endorsed her. What next? think Apr 2016 #28
I think this is it exactly - link the South to Hillary - and the Union, er, I mean the North to him DrDan Apr 2016 #59
It means she pulled ahead early and that those votes came from the South. GreenPartyVoter Apr 2016 #15

Name recognition. She had it. In those states voting early. Momentum. Bernie has it now. Hiraeth Apr 2016 #61
It means Obama could not carry the south in the GE and Hillary won't if she captures the nomination. imagine2015 Apr 2016 #62
