I wonder why he bothers staying with the party that left him? It's fine if he thinks the Democrats don't represent him any longer, but what is his point in staying with the party then? Perhaps he wasn't a Dixiecrat, but he's certainly a lot more conservative than most Democrats, and from what I've read he wasn't exactly a champion for civil rights in the 1960s either (he seemed comfortable with the Dixiecrats). Most of his fellow conservative southern Dems looked in the mirror and said, I'm really a Republican and I might as well make it official. Why doesn't he? Then, perhaps we won't have to hear him anymore as he won't draw audiences as just another Republican hack.
