Digby: More Southern Agitation

Super smart commenter Sara left this one the Southern Comfort post and I thought it was well worth talking about as we continue this conversation:

Yes, the South needs to rebuild its Democratic Party, and the DNC and Dean can start the ball rolling with some subsidies, but the hard work will be pulling together the Majority Minority African American Democratic Districts with the progressive democratic culture. It has to be built by people on the ground who can cross that racial divide and the trust divide that reflects racial sell-outs of the past, and create one party. For right now the secure Democratic Districts are mostly Majority African American -- and in many parts of the South, that is the core of the Democratic Party. In Texas it will need to be three way trust -- White anglo, Hispanic and Black.
