The Solid South returns. The South was always meant to be a one-party state.

She was also a Republican before she was a Democrat. And many people wondered since 1997 what party she belonged to, it's how she kept her seat.

The south belongs to gun nuts, so-called "Christians", bigots and wingnuts.

Just the fallout from supporting an idiot president, more to fall next election.

In other words, not much is changing.

The facts show that Landrieu voted with her party 94% of the time. The went against the party on guns and Keystone.

I think the new Senator will not vote with the Dems 94% of the time. That is a huge change.

10 US senate dems and 24 repubs up in 2016. Good luck to the repubs defending their much vaunted majority.

This kind of vitriolic hyperbole is exactly why the Democrat Party will remain a fringe regional party confined to the coasts and large urban hellholes. Keep it up!

Uh; you left out Black people who are leaving up north for the south. Sometimes I think the real bigots ain't in the south in 2014.

I never said it can't work both ways, gerrymandering is wrong for either party and all it does is make the House misrepresent the people.

Look how big cities in blue states are broken into districts so the democrat strongholds will get more seats in state legislatures.

Republicans cannot fix that problem, without the Feds jumping them.
If you ask me, the legislature of states, should be elected by the county/parish they represent, not some abstract district lines drawn for the benefit of political power.

The House is suppose to represent the population, not the land of the country. It should also reflect the popular vote in a presidential election, which it currently does not.
