That may be correct as times change. It wasn't the case 45 years ago when the GOP inherited an awful lot new republicans from the democratic "solid south" following the almost entirely dem passage of civil rights legislation. Coincidence, nah. Makes me hum Abraham, Martin and John "But it seems the good they die young." I'd like to think it's different now but voting "habits" are passed to following generations thus the south remains solidly republican - even though racism may no longer be the reason.
