John Edwards's Southern Strategy Is the liberal senator from North Carolina really capable of winning the South? Would he even need to? by Terry Eastland 02/03/2004 11:00:00 AM Page 2 of 2 < Back As Democratic strategists Cliff Schecter and Ruy Teixeira write in The American Prospect, the parties always tend to be regionalized, and a century ago, when the Republicans controlled the Northeast, Midwest and West Coast, they won the elections of 1896, 1900, 1904 and 1908 without taking a single Southern state. Today, it is the Democrats who control those regions. And if they do well there on Election Day, they could lose every Southern state and still win the White House. Not that they would want to do that--not that they should want to ignore the South. But they could win--Edwards could win--without it. We are, of course, getting ahead of the story just a bit. Today will determine whether the liberal senator from North Carolina survives to make his case another day. Terry Eastland is publisher of The Weekly Standard. This column originally appeared in the Dallas Morning News.
