The problem for the Reps here is that the only issues people in the rural South agree with them on are gays and abortion, both of which are fading from the debate.  On the economic and environmental issues, the South is still Democratic, and that's how Childers won.  Davis's campaign was basically "The blacks will eat your kids if you vote Childers, and Pelosi will abort any they miss.  Just like they do in San Francisco!!!!!!!"  And it didn't work, because nobody gives a shit this year.

My mom and dad, visiting my sister working up in the white mountains, stopped at a gas station, where my mom was surprised to learn that there is no sales tax in NH. She asked the cashier who said "yep, up here, no tax, and no blacks." Imagine him wearing a 2nd amendment t-shirt and you've got a complete picture.
