7. Isn't that tokenism?
Will there need to be a southerner somewhere on the ticket in the general election in order for the state to swing Democratic?

I think that might be perceived as throwing them a bone... a fairly meaningless kind of bone.

It couldn't hurt, but I think that poor people everywhere need to understand how a Republican vote is a vote against their own best interests.

Let's face it... this isn't a black v. white issue or a south v. "New England elite" issue. This country is in a rich v. poor battle, and since I'm in the same boat with blacks and hispanics and all those minority groups, i.e. I'm poor and getting poorer, I'm voting Democratic.
