George Will: The Republican Party Has Become Too Dependent on Southern States

Has the Republican Party become too southern? In reaction to a particularly cringeworthy Rick Perry soundbite from Thursday’s debate, George Will told the rest of the panel on ABC’s This Week with Christiane Amanpour that the party indeed has become too dependent on southern states in Presidential elections:
Following a criticism of Perry’s attempt to attack Governor Romney, Will said:
“There’s also the problem that the Republican party has been, in recent years, too Southern. In the last five presidential cycles, they’ve got 79 percent of their electoral votes from the South. It’s too much. The Republican strategy for years has been to carry the 11 states of the Confederacy and Oklahoma and Kentucky, carry the eight states of Mountain West– Arizona and New Mexico to the Canadian border, then spend a sum equal to the gross national product of Brazil to carry Ohio, and then you get to be president. That won’t work anymore partly because Barack Obama did extend the battlefield.”
Considering Will’s comments on the Republican Party dependence on southern electoral votes came immediately following the criticism of a Texas governor’s bumbling attempt to criticize a northern Republican, do you think Will’s comments were meant to have broader implications than just an assessment of electoral strategy?

Posted on September 25, 2011 at 8:46pmI have to admit, he’s right about the two parties switching ideals. I came across a chart in a history book a few years ago, and the ideals were pretty much reversed then compared to now. The reversal came sometimes post War Between the States and WWI or WWII. It never explained the reversal. I asked a few people and nobody seemed to know why.
Report Post »My guess would be that was when the Progressives started to come to power and must have taken over the two parties. I remember Beck saying one day, I believe about Woodrow Wilson, that it didn’t matter if you voted Progressive Dem or Progressive Rep, you still get a Progressive president.
My thoughts about the Republicans being too Southern was probably a racist laced comment. You know us Rednecks are ALL racists. Even tho most Rednecks I know hate sorry people, regardless of color. There’s some really good black folks and some really trailerpark trash white folks.
If you read your history, the North and South have always had 2 distinct societies. Mainly, the North is big city and industrial and the South is small city and agrarian. Still pretty much the same today. That was one of the major reasons of the War Between the States. The South still clings to conservative values, and yes, it’s still the Bible belt for a reason.
I personally find it ironic that alot of the ideals that started the War are still relevant today and the Tea Party supports them. Guess us Southerners figured out a big,oppressive guvmint is bad 150 y
AR_OR_AK
Posted on September 25, 2011 at 8:53pmActually there was no “Civil War”. A civil war is when 2 opposing factions fight for control of 1 guvmint. The South wanted to leave the Union and form their own guvmint. Therefore, War Between the States or War for Southern Independence is most accurate.

I disagree. The true United States lies in the North East and West Coast.
Best arguement I’ve heard all day for secession. Let the bastards freeze in the dark when Texas oil & gas is cut off.

Posted on September 26, 2011 at 4:18pmThe revolution that invented this country started in THE NORTH. The vast majority of the battles were fought in THE NORTH. With the exception of a couple of notable Virginians, the intellectual foundation of this country came from THE NORTH. The USA was invented in BOSTON and PHILLY! The South was only drug into the revolution, kicking and screaming about keeping their precious SLAVERY!
