Unfortunately, do to their opposition to ANY form of birth control, evangelicals continue to breed at an alarming rate, and will probably be dominating Texas for a long time. Whites 18-29 voted basically the same as the adults, so there is really very little hope here.

Arizona, Montana, Georgia, the Dakotas & Missouri should all fall into place if Obama has a great term and the republicans nominate other McCain. Texas is just so dominated by southern culture that it will be tend times more difficult to win than other red states.

If Georgia continues to grow then the black vote + moderation of white suburbs could deliver Georgia. Arkansas is an absolute crap state that probably wouldn't vote for Obama if he was the best president since Lincoln.

Not everyone from the state is bad, and MAYBE it was the PUMA movement that resulted in Obama's hideous showing, but most of the democratic politicians down there are more conservative. Not that I have a problem with that, unlike with Harold Ford Jr. who completely sold out democratic principles and deserved to lose, but some of it probably had to do with race.

Ford isn't liberal enough to head the democratic party. I would change alliances immediately to some third party if he was nominated. He's kind of like a 1996 bill clinton, which isn't really appealing to a partisan.

Ford sold out his party to win a red state and lost. Good riddance.

He did not run as a moderate, he ran as a conservative democrat. We need to get rid of those.
