This past Sunday, The State newspaper ran a story about South Carolina's vanishing white Democrats (read HERE). Today, I found a video history of the political shift in the South on The Economist website (see HERE).
The loss of the differing views within each political party is hurting us all. It leaves us with an inability to have a pragmatic, moderate government. When one party has too much power, the pendulum inevitably swings too far to the right or left - as we've endured for much of the last 11 years.
Maybe we have never had a moderate government, but it is a certainty that we do not have a government in the middle now.
