“White Southern Democrat Congressmen: An endangered breed”
The Washington Post: “It’s possible there won’t be a single white Democratic member of
Congress from Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Arkansas, and maybe just one or two from North Carolina, Tennessee,
possibly for the next decade,” said David Wasserman, who tracks House
races for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. “The only case under which a conservative Democrat could win in those states would be because of a scandal or a national Democratic wave.” Once the dominant part of the South, Democrats saw their power decline with Lyndon B. Johnson’s embrace of civil rights reforms and the rise of evangelical Republicans.
It appears the liberal main stream media is blaming the Voting Rights Act for the political failures of white Democrats.

Buying official merchandise at the DNC means making a donation the Obama campaign, an activity that is generally frowned upon for members of the media. The Obama campaign website specifically informs shoppers that purchases amount to donations.”
“The woman working at the souvenir stand told us she hadn’t been “too busy” during the day, but had seen business pick up in the past half hour or so. She then asked us whether we wanted to buy anything. When we informed her that our status as a reporter means we don’t buy campaign gear, she suggested a strategy other members of the media have apparently used to pick up their Obama swag.
