You don't know your history then: The last three Democratic presidents — Bill Clinton from Arkansas, Jimmy Carter from Georgia, and Lyndon Johnson from Texas — were from the South. Kerry is another Northern Carpetbagger. Southerners still don't like liberals from Massachusetts. The last four Democratic presidential nominees to not win one Southern state — Sen. George McGovern in 1972; former Vice President Walter Mondale in 1984; Gov. Mike Dukakis in 1988; and Gore in 2000 — lost. Former Vice President Hubert Humphrey in 1968 and Carter in 1980 were able to win one Southern state apiece, though in the end they lost to Republicans nationwide. Of the victorious Democrats, Carter won 10 Southern states in 1976, and Clinton won four in both 1992 and 1996. But both of these guys were from the South. The point Lizzis is that Kerry, being from Massachusetts will have a hard time winning any Southerns States. Recent History has shown that being a Dem, not being from the South, your chances are nil.
