The last northern candidate to do well in the South was JFK who had a southern running mate and that was before the Civil Rights Revolution which drove many white southerners into the hands of the GOP.
I don't think Kerry will do well in the South either.
With either of these two candidates the Dems have to pull the Electoral College equivalent of a straight flush.
As you can see by 00 it's hard to win when you write off an entire region of the country that has four of the nation's ten most populous states.
