Ah, another recommendation. If you don't know C. Vann Woodward's work on southern history, I recommend it highly. I particularly liked his book on Tom Watson, the Georgia populist who started his political career as a genuine populist, Tom Watson: Agrarian Rebel. It was my introduction to Woodward's work and gave me an appreciation for the complexity of southern politics, particularly deep south politics.

I will read it. Thanks. I don't want to be wrong about this issue, or any other for that matter. Maybe Jesse Helms, Strom Thurmond, George Wallace and the outrage in the south over the 1964 civil righs act is still too fresh in my mind, or the fact the south was the last bastion of support of Nixon. Or the fact the sotuh will vote categorically for Romney in 2012.

But if you say there is a larger reality I am missing, I will read that book and look for it.
