I am suggesting that I don't buy that the south is suddenly going to be voting Democrat if you get rid of the religious right. I don't see the south as a social conservative, fiscally liberal area. I see them as a social conservative, fiscal conservative area. I am saying that I feel the south would still view the republican party as the lesser of two evils, but you would now have a much stronger base in any battleground state that consistantly flip flops.. Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, the East coast of Virginia, North Carolina and you might just possibly start getting some of the entire Northeast back in the way of house seats or such.
