 A regional (and yet still national) Democratic Party | TPMCafe
In my mind, The Democratic Party should have two sets of planks to our platform: those that are clear and uniform across the party and across the nation (all Democrats believe this), and those that change from state to state or from region to region.
I believe that Democrats are considered the party of African-Americans in the South and that for a sizable minority of voters that is the end of the discussion--they are voting Republican.
Democrats will not be able to reach many of these voters in national elections and putting efforts into doing so is a waste of resources.
