Could David Duke, if he were running in the South, win a seat in the House at this time. I'm just

[demosincebirth]

curious. If he were running I think he could in certain parts of the South.

1. Doubt it - he's probably too liberal for them.

[Capt. Obvious]

2. A further question: were he to win a Democratic primary for office

what would the policy here be towards his run in the general?

Everybody fall in line?

6. Well, at least you were astute enough to pick an apt username.

3. If he could win a primary, yes. He's tried and failed.

But if he were the official candidate, yes in many places in the South.

He was elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives.

4. Probably.

Many in this area have been voting against their interests for a very long time.

It's what they do.

5. It's Like Real Estate...

Location, Location, Location. Yes...I do think there are regions of this country that would elect him if he were the official rushpublican party nominee. It wouldn't just be the south...he'd do very well in Alaska, Utah, Wyoming and Montana as well. Who knows how many closested racists are already in Congress...

7. Yes, in the right district and state

I am in Spencer Bachus' district in Alabama. If he decided not to run and Duke lived here I think he could.

8. He is friends with Ron Paul and family

he is the best friend of Rand and Ron Paul and those two bigots are in office.

9. According to the latest info on those searching the Internet

for racist terms, Duke could win in West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, upstate New York and southern Mississippi. (http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/09/how-racist-are-we-ask-google/)

Racism isn't a wholly-owned subsidiary of the South.

P.S. And, the last time I looked, Montana, home of the "Obama Presidential Library," depicted as a bullet-riddled outhouse, was NOT in the South.

10. He ran for Senate and then for governor

in 90 and 91. He got 43% of the vote in 90 and then 39%. He won a majority of the white vote both times. He likely could win a district composed of white Louisiana voters.

11. Very likely he could.
