Okay seriously how are Republicans racist?

Oh, please.

The Republican strategy (at least in the South) involves using race bating and white resentment to win elections.

Do you want an example?

Deal called an effort to have integrated prom (in 2013!) "silly publicity stunt organized by a leftist front group for the state Democratic party."

I am waiting for someone to say, "Ah, but this is only one example; list a few more and I might believe you."

Wishful thinking. They may win the two races in November, but that won't make Georgia blue overnight. Did the Republican takeover in Maine in 2010 make that a red state? No.

When Webb won the senate seat in 2006, that was foreshadowing.

More like Allen putting his foot in his mouth, and even then it was close. VA only took a turn to the left in 2008 because of Obama raising black turnout. Need I remind you of the gubernatorial races. McDonnell won in a landslide even after Obama's comfortable win there, and Terry only won due to a spoiler in the form of Sarvis. 2012 was closer, and was also due to Obama and maybe a popular governor being on the ballot for Senate, causing swing voters to vote across the board. The latter half is just my theory, though.
Sarvis took more votes from Terry than he did Cucinelli

Yeah I get it
