Your opinion of George McGovern is irrelevant. Either Jimmy Carter was the first Democrat to lose the South or he wasn't. And here you admit that he wasn't, which directly contradicts what you have said so often before. (McGovern wasn't the first one to lose it either, incidentally.)
It depends on what is meant by "losing the South" and what is meant by Democrat. LBJ won six states in 1964 and Goldwater won five. In 1968, Humphrey won only one southern state (Texas) which certainly isn't "winning the South." Nixon won five and George Wallace, who had been a Dem. until he started his own party (The AIP) also won five. Carter won ten states in 1976 and, since then, the GOP has dominated, even when the Dems nominated southerners such as Carter, Clinton and Gore.
I don't see why, when it's seven months to the first primary and most voters aren't really paying attention yet. Or could it be that you just really, really want Biden to be the nominee?
Right, you really have your finger on what everybody to the left of Attila the Hun wants there, Dump.[/QUOTE]
