Dixie To Democrats: It’s You, Not Us

The elections of 2014 will be remembered for a long time, not just for its clear message from the electorate, but for the far-reaching effects on the body politic. In particular, Southern Democrats ought to be nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. After Sen. Mary Landrieu’s highly-anticipated defeat in the runoff election in Louisiana, Democrats were left without a single senator in the Deep South, and Republicans were left happier than a pig in…well, you know.

 

Predictably, this realization led to some rending of garments among the liberal punditry, as they wondered aloud whatever will become of us. One of the more entertaining takes on the encroaching ruin came from Michael Tomasky in The Daily Beast. He argued that, for “Dems, It’s Time to Dump Dixie.” Bless his heart, but he got it all backwards.
