I also don't think Bush can win in the south anymore, especially the Carolinas. WAY too much job loss. The social conservative republicans used to win there on issues like abortion and prayer. But that was in the economic good times, not now. Bush is vulnerable on foreign relations and economy/jobs. But in the areas where he might have received a pass on his hawkish war stance (whacked out as it is)- like the south, there is so much job loss it scarcely matters. With the next round of presidential primary elections coming up Tuesday, billboards are popping up across South Carolina with a political message that might resonate with any Democratic contender: "Lost your job to free trade and offshoring yet?" But blue-collar workers have borne the brunt of the pain. South Carolina, a key battleground state for the Democrats, has been hit hard by overseas outsourcing in the textile industry, and has lost about 64,000 manufacturing jobs over the past three years, according to the American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition, the Washington-based lobbying group that paid for the billboard ads. iis-db.stanford.edu (this article is a week old obviously)
