Smart and cutting history of how the South became a "Republican Stronghold" and how that's a total lie. If politicians from the democratic party came down south and asked for our votes, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, would be blue.

"A wake-up call . . . Moser's argument is cogent."--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution In Blue Dixie, Bob Moser, an award-winning political reporter forThe Nation, argues that the Democratic Party needs to jettison outmoded prejudices about the South if it wants to build a lasting national majority. With evangelical churches preaching a more expansive social gospel and a massive left-leaning demographic shift to African Americans, Latinos, and the young, the South is poised for a Democratic revival. Moser shows how a volatile mix of unprecedented economic prosperity and abject poverty are reshaping the Southern vote. By returning to a bold, unflinching message of economic fairness, the Democrats can win in the nation's largest, most diverse region and redeem themselves as a true party ofthe people. Keenly observed and deeply grounded in contemporary Southern politics, and with a new afterword covering the ramifications of the 2008 election,Blue Dixie reveals the changing state of American politics.
