Can Dems win in the South by being more liberal? It isnt accurate to call Mary Landrieu the last Southern Democrat, as one headline after another put it in the days leading up to and following her defeat in Saturday’s runoff election in Louisiana. While its true that Republicans now control almost all the Senate seats, governorships, and legislatures of the 11 states of the old confederacy (the exceptions are found in Virginia and Florida), there are quite a few Democratic elected officials left in the South—but few of them were elected statewide, and a large proportion of them are black.
