And no, I don't mean socially liberal Democrats who happen to reside in Southern states.  Obviously they grow smaller in number each day, and I've only seen one or two posters out there who might fit the profile, but does anyone out there still consider themselves to be an old school Southern Dem (culturally moderate/conservative, socially moderate/conservative, fiscally populist)?  Have there been any on Atlas in the past few years who are now gone?

NOTES: Let's not take into consideration this group's history with segregation, it's 2014.  Also, I wasn't sure where to put this, so feel free to move it!

Blacks vote strongly D in the South. However conservative they may be on some social issues, they are usually liberal on economics.

Weren't the Dixiecrats pretty moderate on economics?

Definitely much more liberal than current Southern Republicans.  People like George Wallace were actually quite liberal economically.
