karoli — Mary Landrieu Concedes Runoff, Leaving GOP In Charge Of New Confederacy


The new "Solid South". The maturation of Nixon's Southern Strategy, later taken up by Ronald Reagan.
In what was no surprise to anyone anywhere, Senator Mary Landrieu soundly lost her bid to keep her Senate seat for another term to Rep. Bill Cassidy.…
When will Democrats learn that if people have a choice between Republicans and Republican-lites, they'll just vote for the real deal, especially if they're in the Deep South where white supremacy still reigns. 
Landrieu was the last Democrat standing in the deep south. Now, every governor is Republican, and every US Senate seat is occupied by Republicans, which must mean the South is poised to rise again.
History not repeating but rhyming?
