Ha now this is just flat-out funny/delusional…
As Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu unsuccessfully campaigned for Democrats’ last Senate seat in the Deep South, a group of prominent liberals were shopping a proposal for a new political group with claims that the party’s eventual dominance in the region is inevitable.
The group, called the Southern Elections Fund, asked high-dollar Democratic donors at a meeting of the secretive Democracy Alliance last month to contribute $4 million to the effort, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Their pitch couches Democratic dominance in the south as a foregone conclusion. “The South will become more progressive in the future: that is a demographic inevitability,” the group wrote. “However, the right wing’s campaign to make the future come slower merits an equally persistent response from the left.”
SEF will conduct voter registration drives for people of color, a key demographic in what the left describes as the Rising American Electorate. Combined with demographic changes, the group says, voter registration will guarantee Democratic victories in the “Black Belt.”
