Not only that, but trends have changed in several states as well. I never thought that West Virginia would start going Republican. It used to be a pocket-book voting labor state; now the evangelical conservatives are winning in it. Virginia is turning into a swing state; it used to be the most Republican state in the South, which, let's not forget, used to be solidly Democratic. I'm frankly confused about what's going on in Southern politics. We've had some moderate progressives in the past, Clinton was from Arkansas and Gore from Tennessee. Maybe it's just good old American fickleness.
