Statistics on this site show Democrats are a significant minority in the south. I would hardly call the South "lost" to the Dems.

Further more at a level of state leglislation, the Dems have a majority in a majority of southern states:
quote:

State Senates: 5R (FL, KY, SC, TX & VA)
8D (AL, AR, GA, LA, MS, NC, OK & TN)


State Houses: 3R (FL, SC & VA)
10D (AL, AR, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, OK, TN & TX)
Southwide, there are 314 Democratic state senators, 229 Republicans;
there are 858 Democratic state representatives, 659 Republicans. (1/1/01)
[/QUOTE]While southern Democrats may not be *lost* to the cause, I can tell ya from experience, most of us are dang lonely. We are few and far between.
