23. Kerry is a Yankee
and, except for the metro areas and their suburbs, Yankees are outsiders. They talk funny and too fast which means they want something or they may be trying to take something from you. Yankees also mean change, and of course change is evil.

However, minorities do not think like the above as they've always been the object of discrimination by the above folks. That is, unless you are a minority born 10 - 15 years after the civil rights movement in which case that is ancient history to you and you have smarts and intelligence so you don't need the Democratic party. (Of course, being young, as a rule, these folks don't vote.)

So what do we as Democrats doin the south? Target for GOTV the minorities that will go vote. What does the GOP do in response? Get the minorities off the voter roles so it will most likely be a white person going to vote.


I'm a lifelong South Texan and like it or not, this is it in a nutshell.
