As far as racist Democrats leaving the party to join the Republicans, seems a little far fetched. Why would racist join anything that doesn't promote their agenda? That would be a historical first.<br /><br />Some Democrats have left the party as well as Republicans leaving to join the Democrat party.

Well he does seem to have a higher view of state's rights than the Whiteliberals, but the Southerners were agrarians.
