The state legislatures of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas are stilled controlled by Democrats. Although, in Mississippi the balance of power shifted towards the Republicans after some party switching, but the Democrats regained control in the Senate after Mississippi's last election. The Dems lost control of North Carolina in the 1990's, but have since regained control of both the house and the senate.

Virginia is the first state in the entire nation, not just the south, to elect a black man as Governor. Wilder was up by a good 10 pts a few days before the election and barely eked out a 1 pt victory. I think Obama can do it, but the cynic in me remains skeptical.

A very sad day. Politics is one thing, but this is so depraved and disgusting.

Again, what you "believe" is not objective.

Scalfin, if you are going to get all technical on us you had better meet your own standard. "A large part of Clinton's WV support was based upon racism".

Large is a subjective term, thus the following statement cannot possibly be an objective statement.

presidentraygun, you should have seen Buchanan going berserk while on Hardball. Even Chris Matthews looked shocked and stunned.

gtash, if you do not mind me asking, why will have trouble supporting Obama?

I am afraid that this primary has turned Hillary's supporters into raving lunatics. Y'all need to calm the f**k down. There are plenty of people here who initially supported Edwards, Richardson, Dodd etc, and while there was disappointment when our guy dropped out, we accepted reality. The voters have spoken. Obama has more pledged delegates, leads in the popular vote, and has won more states. Even the mathematicians and scientists that fudged the data for the Tobacco companies cannot come up with a plausible way for Clinton to win.
