[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1061723, member: 43436"] Oh, boy. The states you listed are Republican-leaning. Sure, I'll agree the population (in some, not all) is Democrat-leaning, but though the magic of Gerrymandering, state Congress as well as their US House are Republic-leaning. Take Ohio for example: the governorship is Republican, the state Senate has a Republican super majority and the state House is one seat away (with two races undecided, with Republicans leading both) from a Republican super majority. The entire population may be Democrat-leaning but when you stick one Representative for several million people, and multiple for a few hundred thousand, you suddenly become a Red state. And FWIW, most Americans are increasingly supportive of socialist programs. That includes the South. Of course, the South cares much more about banning gay marriage and converting everybody to Christianity -- a strategy Newt Gingrich recognized and embraced in expediting the South to solid Republican territory.
