51. I wasn't offended.
I do wonder why our party continues to chase away Southerners and Christians, though. Southern Christians have votes, just like everyone else.

This part of the country has high levels of poverty and is ripe for a Dem with a solid plan for economic growth to steal a state or two. If Gore had won just one Southern state outright, think of how different history would be. There's an unsettling thought (unsettling because, so far, the South is still getting ignored for the most part.)

Question: When was the last time the Democrats won the White House without a Southerner on the ticket?
