Flood, i thought you were Irish or Scottish? Mcnugget would’ve sounded appealing?

Hey, i doubt many people will see GWB as a Connecticut kid either. Nor Reagan being from Hollywood, Illinois. I think your disclaimer of “being born there doesn’t mean being from there” is a bit subtle.

Is this one of the blokes?

Republicans like southern politicians because that’s where their spiritual base is. It’s relatively harder to rise in the ranks of the party if you’re not part of the southern network. Northern and western conservatives would be considered moderates or even Democrats in the south.

The Democrats In recent years have looked to southern candidates (Clinton, Gore, Clark, Edwards) because they want to appeal to traditional conservative strongholds. If a northerner like Kerry is nominated the party will match him with a southern vice presidential running mate.

Republicans use the ideological approach to elections, Democrats use mass apeal. Dean tried to use the ideological approach and got nowhere.

Because the South will Rise Again?

I am more concerned that Bush and his lapdogs might come looking here for nukes and so-on…After all, Hammys signature was removed by WMD so what could they possibly think?:D

Flood.

Clark, Clinton, Edwards, Bush Jr (if you consider Texas part of the south, but not his father who is from elsewhere), carter, dole, are among some off the top of my head that are from the south.
