Franz Peter Schubert (1797-1828)
Overture in the Italian Style in D major, D589 (1817)
Schubert's pair of overtures 'in the Italian style' - the first in D major, the second in C - were among the outcomes of the Rossini frenzy that swept Vienna in 1816 when the touring Italian Opera Company arrived with the tragic Tancredi, the comic L'inganno felice, and other recent works by the swan of Pesaro. The success was sustained, even increased, in succeeding years and crowned by the arrival of Rossini himself during the 1822-23 season. Young Schubert, regularly in the audience, reputedly loved The Barber of Seville but reserved his deepest admiration for the last act of Otello. Meanwhile his own operatic career, which had begun as early as 1814, was proving more humdrum, with an emphasis on German singspiel rather than Italian fizz. Not even his Italian overtures - their titles opportunely supplied by someone else - seemed particularly Rossinian, though they certainly sounded delectably Viennese and well worth hearing as the concert pieces Schubert intended them to be.
The premiere of the D major overture, given in the city's Roman Emperor Hotel, was a hit, so much so that it was reviewed as far afield as Dresden, and Schubert later pilfered portions of it for use in other works. Thus a passage from the slow introduction, filled with magically Schubertian modulations, was destined to reappear in the more famous Rosamunde overture, which today introduces many a popular Viennese night, and the bouncing coda found a more distinguished place in the Great C major symphony where, in a grander version, it swings the first movement towards its sensational close.
Between the introduction and coda, the central allegro section brims with the vitality of a quick Viennese march, with foretastes perhaps of the future Strauss family. Yet Rossinian effervescence, and the sparkle of Rossinian woodwind, are not wholly absent, and even a touch of Tancredi may be spotted by listeners with acute ears.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
Piano Concerto in A major, K488 (1786)
Allegro assai
There was a time - not much more than half a century ago - when K488 was one of the few Mozart piano concertos regularly played in Britain. Today it remains a special favourite, adored for the poise and beauty of its first movement, the forlorn expressiveness of its adagio, the inspired prattle of its finale. Composed in tandem with The Marriage of Figaro in 1786, it is the product of one of Mozart's greatest Viennese years, during which he wrote two other piano concertos, the 'Prague' symphony, much fine chamber music and, for a celebration at the palace of Schonbrunn, his pithy operatic send-up entitled The Impresario.
Innovatively, the concerto's orchestration, though lightweight, included a pair of clarinets, instruments Mozart associated with Vienna and his friend Anton Stadler and had employed in only one previous concerto. Apprehensive that orchestras might not have clarinets available, he interestingly suggested that a solo violin and viola could substitute for them. Yet much of the mellifluous sweetness of the music is dependent upon their presence and on the absence here of more nasal oboe tone. Sweetness, however, does not preclude sadness, which sometimes darkens the pearly melodic interplay between soloist and orchestra in the first movement.
On the other hand, the stark simplicity of the adagio, Mozart's last of its kind in a minor key (not, it must be said, that he wrote many such), sounds like uninterrupted tragedy. The pulse is that of a very slow siciliano, the Sicilian rhythm of a gently rocking boat, much used in baroque operas and concertos, but greatly savoured by Mozart also, especially in this work. Yet the music looks forward, as well as backwards, anticipating Pamina's lament in The Magic Flute, though containing none of that aria's elaborate decorations. Whether or not the soloist chooses to insert any of his or her own, or to leave Mozart's bare lines and huge, slow leaps to speak for themselves, the music has an operatic intensity highlighted by the closing bars, with their softly insistent, curiously disturbing pizzicato strings.
To this mood of desolation, the mercurial wit and audacious modulations of the finale are the perfect antidote. The scale passages here are no ordinary scale passages, but Mozartian comedy at its most sublimely zany and merrily audacious. At the same time, the entire work has a strangely spectral quality. In the words of one observer, it is a fragile structure of glass, through which the piano itself is often heard only faintly.

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
Grosse Fuge for strings, Op 133 (1825)
There was a time when Beethoven's Grosse Fuge, like his Missa Solemnis and the choral finale of his Ninth Symphony, was deemed too daunting for human performance. If the worst came to the worst the symphony could end, as sometimes happened in Britain, with its slow movement. To circumvent the problems of the 'great fugue', on the other hand, Beethoven supplied his own solution. Persuaded by his publisher that the fugue was too incomprehensible to form the finale of his big B-flat String Quartet, Op 130, he wrote something shorter and wittier instead, allowing the fugue to stand alone as Op 133.
Under its own name it proved no easier to play, but performers gradually accepted the challenge. Though Beethoven himself had declined to attend its original premiere, exclaiming "cattle!" and "asses!" when told that the audience had failed to demand an encore, his willingness to provide a substitute movement suggests that he was aware how formidable the fugue actually was. Yet a sense of strain was, and still is, a vital element of the music. Not even Hans von Bulow's solution, which was to get a string orchestra to give the music some ballast, could wholly conceal its difficulties.
Today, most performers can take it in their stride, frequently restoring it to its original place as the finale of Op 130, yet its modernity remains startling. Based on a four-note motif with which Beethoven became obsessed while writing his last quartets, it is almost a fifteen-minute quartet, or set of variations, in itself, in which four recognisable movements are packed into one. So there is an 'Overture' - really five miniature, disjointed overtures - out of which the fugue springs with a relentlessly violent, jerky counter-subject. The succeeding slow section is more flowing, but nervous energy erupts again in a sort of scherzo where the motif is heard in a context of trills, employed as a source of power rather than decoration. From here the music becomes increasingly fragmented, and quicker in its changes of mood as it moves towards its close.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
Piano Concerto in C major, K503 (1786)
Allegro maestoso
Of all Mozart's piano concertos, this is the biggest, grandest, most sonorous. Separating itself from the tragic manner of its immediate predecessor in C minor, K491, it represents the C major summit of the 30-year-old composer's Viennese style. The two piano concertos that were still to come sound in comparison more like transitional works leading who knows where. All that can be said of them is that the so-called Coronation Concerto, K537, contains ornate and glittering foretastes of Chopin and that the poignant, intimate B flat major, K595, predicts a new purification of his style.
If the great C major concerto - the last of four in that key - anticipates anybody, it is usually said to be Beethoven, particularly the Beethoven of the C major and C minor (Nos 1 and 3) piano concertos, which employ similar march rhythms, punchy chords, sharp contrasts between major and minor. Yet to perform Mozart's concerto as if it were Beethoven would be a serious mistake. The music is Mozart through and through, in spite of its use (not for the first time) of martial trumpets and drums, and, in the first movement, blocks of chords rather than flowing lines. Perhaps the sheer scale of the music has slightly acted against its popularity. Eric Blom damaged the cause of this concerto by calling it "'frigid and unoriginal" in his long-established Master Musician study of the composer. Donald Francis Tovey and Charles Rosen, on the other hand, deemed it worthy of the deepest, most appreciative analysis.
It is a masterpiece not only magisterial but moving – broad and splendid, yet keenly detailed, in the first movement; touchingly chaste in the operatic sweetness of the slow movement, with its huge, expressively vocal leaps in the solo part; and filled with gleams and shadows in the animated gavotte-like finale. Yet this is not, on the whole, one of Mozart's most obviously operatic concertos. Its Beethovenian anticipations are quite conspicuous. Even the predominant four-note rhythm of the first movement was to be employed by Beethoven in the first movement of his Fourth Piano Concerto and, more strenuously, in the first movement of his Fifth Symphony.
It is in the final rondo, however, that we encounter the work's most magical moment, for here, amid all the Mozartian wit, the music is suddenly filled for a page or two with a wistful sense of life's fragile beauty and transitoriness. It's a passage which, once identified by the listener, always stands out. First, after a few brisk chords from the orchestra, the piano quite unemphatically plays a flowing phrase, answered by the woodwind. Then the piano extends the phrase, and the woodwind extend the repetition. That is all. There is no more to it than that. The phrase never returns. But Mozart wrote nothing better, lovelier, or more piercing in its combination of joy and sadness than this brief aside, confirming things - the tiny sighs amid the big declamations of the first movement, the melancholy behind the descending notes of the andante - that have been only hinted at earlier in the concerto.

Witness the ultimate in multi-tasking: playing the piano and directing an orchestra at the same time. Anderszewski manages it effortlessly and has given many wonderful Mozart performances with the SCO, both in Scotland and on their many international tours. It is really something special. Complementing these marvelous pieces, a youthful spree from Schubert, and one of the most astonishing pieces in all music: Grosse Fuge is late Beethoven at its most visionary.

As an example, suppose you are a teacher who keeps a spreadsheet containing your students' names (column A) and the grades they received on their homework (column B). If you wanted to see which students are in the top 20% of the class, you could format the cells by applying the formula
Note: In many cases, you will need to add dollar ($) signs in front of letters and numbers in these formulas so that the formatting is applied using absolute references as opposed to relative references (A1 to B1, A2 to B2).
In the new Google Sheets, you can now use wildcard characters if you want to match multiple expressions. Wildcard characters can be used with the "Text contains" or "Text does not contain" fields while formatting.
- Use a question mark (?) to match any single character. For example, a text rule containing "a?c" would format cells with "abc", but not "ac" or "abbc".
- Use an asterisk (*) to match zero (0) or more characters. For example, a text rule containing "a*c" would format cells with "abc", "ac", and "abbc" but not "ab" or "ca".
- If you need to match a question mark or asterisk exactly in text, you can escape the wildcard characters by adding a tilde (~) in front of them. For example, a text rule containing "a~?c" would format cells with "a?c" but not "abc" or "a~?c".

The End of the Solid South
This piece is the first in our Solid South series. You can read Abby Rapoport's Texas reporting here, and Sue Sturgis and Chris Kromm on North Carolina here, and Jamelle Bouie on Virginia here.
The final rally of Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign took place on symbolically charged ground: the rolling fields of Manassas, site of the first major battle of the Civil War. It was the last stop on an election eve spent entirely in the South: Jacksonville, Charlotte, and finally Northern Virginia. In the autumn chill, an estimated 90,000 people spread out across the county fairgrounds and waited for hours to cheer a new president—and a new South.
By this point, Virginians knew Obama well. In February, he had beaten Hillary Clinton 2 to 1 in the state's Democratic primary, a blow to her floundering bid. After clinching the nomination, he'd kicked off his general-election campaign in rural Virginia and been a frequent visitor since. Bucking conventional wisdom, Obama's team had invested heavily in three Southern states: not just perennial battleground Florida but also Virginia and North Carolina, which had not voted Democratic for president since 1964 and 1976, respectively. No Democrat—not even Bill Clinton—had made a serious attempt to win North Carolina or Virginia since Ronald Reagan claimed it in 1980. But Obama was gambling on an emerging South—one that is younger than the rest of the country, far more ethnically diverse than the old black-and-white paradigm, and more liberal-leaning than any Southern generation to precede it.
That emerging South was arrayed in the dark hills around Obama as he flashed into the spotlight. On soil where whites once fought to the death for the right to enslave blacks, this throng had gathered to hail the soon-to-be first black man to be elected president. The next day, Obama carried all three of his Southern targets—55 electoral votes for the party. For Southerners, the message was unmistakable: The future has arrived. The Solid South is dead.
When Americans talk about the South, they tend to be talking about the past. When they talk about Southern politics, they tend to be talking about the old, stereotyped "Solid South"—that uniformly conservative, racist, anti-union, snake-handling cluster of former Confederate states that voted en masse for Democrats from the pre–Civil War through civil rights, then switched their allegiance to the former "party of Lincoln" beginning in the 1970s. Once LBJ and the Democrats betrayed the cause of white supremacy and Richard Nixon cooked up the "Southern Strategy," the region became as solidly Republican as it once was Democratic. End of story.
Southern politics has never been quite so uncomplicated as that. It took decades for Republicans to outnumber Democrats, and Republican control of the region has never matched the Democrats' former hegemony. The South has been contested ground for 40 years, with the GOP dominating federal elections and gradually cutting into the Democrats' hold on state and local offices—culminating in 2012, when Arkansas's legislature became the last to go Republican. (Virginia's Senate has a partisan split.)
Over the next two decades, it will become clear to even the most clueless Yankee that the Solid South is long gone. The politics of the region's five most populous states—Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Texas—will be defined by the emerging majority that gave Obama his winning margins. The under-30 voters in these states are ethnically diverse, they lean heavily Democratic, and they are just beginning to vote. The white population percentage is steadily declining; in Georgia, just 52 percent of those under 18 are white, a number so low it would have been unthinkable 20 years ago.
By the 2020s, more than two-thirds of the South's electoral votes could be up for grabs. (The South is defined here as the 11 states of the former Confederacy.) If all five big states went blue, with their 111 electoral votes, only 49 votes would be left for Republicans. (That's based on the current electoral-vote count; after the next census, the fast-growing states will have more.) Win or lose, simply making Southern states competitive is a boon to Democrats. If Republicans are forced to spend time and resources to defend Texas and Georgia, they'll have less for traditional battlegrounds like Ohio and Pennsylvania. Even if Democrats aren't competitive in those states for another decade, they will benefit from connecting with millions of nonvoters who haven't heard their message. They are building for a demographic future that Republicans dread: the time when overwhelming white support will no longer be enough to win a statewide election in Texas and Georgia.
Republicans will not give up easily. Their counter-insurgency began soon after Obama's three Southern victories. It was propitious timing. The Tea Party, a mostly Southern phenomenon, was turning Obamaphobia into a political movement. Big conservative donors, their money freed up by Citizens United and other court decisions, were ready to spend unprecedented amounts on obscure state assembly races and judgeships (to elect those fired-up Tea Partiers, in many cases). Republicans recognized that 2010 might be their last great chance to expand their gains in the South. They made the most of it.
In a bad year for Democrats nationwide, it was a disaster in the South. Two years after North Carolina voted for Obama, both chambers of the general assembly went Republican for the first time in 120 years. In Florida, the Tea Party launched Marco Rubio into the U.S. Senate. The year before, in Virginia's off-year elections, right-wing Republicans had been elected governor and attorney general. Republicans now controlled all but four legislative chambers in the region.
With those statehouse majorities, the GOP had won the larger prize it sought: control of legislative and congressional redistricting. The party redrew the maps with gusto, giving it favorable districts for the next decade. The trick is watering down the impact of minority voters by moving them from competitive districts into those that are already minority-held. That way, the blacker and browner districts get blacker and browner, and 60 percent Democratic districts become 70 percent Democratic. The white districts, in turn, get whiter—and more Republican. In North Carolina, which ended up with the South's most egregiously misshapen map, half of the state's black population of 2.2 million was drawn into one-fifth of its legislative and congressional districts.
Civil-rights and civil-liberties groups argued that Republicans were using race illegally as the primary basis of redistricting. But the courts mostly upheld the maps, and the results were startling. In 2012, Republicans won legislative majorities in every former Confederate state for the first time. (In Virginia, the Senate is evenly split by party, 20-20.) Overall, the South had now elected 222 more Republican legislators than it had in 2008. Georgia's Democrats made up 47 percent of the statewide vote in 2008 and 2010, but after redistricting they could only elect a maximum of 31 percent of statehouse members. The gerrymandering was just as effective in congressional elections. In Virginia, Obama won by 4 percent statewide, but Republicans captured 10 of 13 seats in the U.S. House.
Southern politics is more fractured than it's ever been. Obama threw down the gauntlet in 2008, and Republicans answered in 2010 and 2012. The voters are moving left, while the state governments are lurching right. The only safe prediction is that after 150 years of being largely ignored in national elections, the South is about to become the most fiercely contested, and unpredictable, political battleground in America.
It's been almost four decades since journalist and historian John Egerton famously declared the South "just about over as a separate and distinct place." He was writing about a newly integrated 1970s South that was suddenly teeming with suburban tracts and office parks, urbanizing so rapidly that it could hardly be recognized. To this day, Americans still think "rural" when they think "Southern." But there's nothing very rural about the South anymore. Florida is 91 percent urban, Georgia and Virginia 75 percent, and in probably the biggest surprise, Texas is 85 percent urban.
With the suburbs and office parks came new Southerners. At first it was mostly Northern professionals, who began moving down in the 1950s and 1960s for low taxes, affordable homes, and jobs in banking (Charlotte), energy (Houston and Dallas), technology (the Research Triangle Park and Austin), and government-contract work (Northern Virginia). Many of the "relocated Yankees," as they were sometimes fondly called, were registered Republicans—but they were more moderate than their Southern partymates, especially on culture-war issues. Those transplants became swing votes, and they haven't stopped coming.
The demographic big bang didn't begin in earnest, however, until the 1990s. Large numbers of African Americans had begun moving South in what would become known as the "great remigration." From the early 20th century until the 1960s, more than seven million blacks fled the Jim Crow South in the Great Migration to pursue a better life, mostly in the industrial North. It was the largest domestic migration in American history. Now hundreds of thousands are returning. Last decade, 75 percent of the growth in America's black population was in the South. Atlanta and its endless suburbs gained 491,000 African Americans in the past decade, more than any other city. Some are middle-class blacks whose families once relied on government jobs up North that are now disappearing. Some are caring for older relatives left behind in the Great Migration. Some are simply coming home to reunite with their families, finding a region that has undergone seismic changes since the South's segregated "way of life" finally came to a merciful end.
While blacks were remigrating, Latino populations were expanding rapidly. Birth statistics tell the story: By 2010, 49 percent of newborns in Texas were Latino. Among the big five Southern states, Virginia has the lowest rate at 12 percent. Hundreds of thousands of young Latinos become eligible to vote in the South every year, and that number will be climbing for decades. At least for now, this strongly favors Democrats, who win Latino votes by large margins. Florida used to be the exception, because first-generation (and often second-generation) Cuban Americans were staunch, anti-communist Republicans. But younger Cuban Americans have joined a new immigrant population in Central Florida to help flip the state in the Democrats' favor.
The key is getting Latinos to the polls—and it's been a challenge in most Southern states. In 2010, for instance, Latinos were 38 percent of Texas's population. But just 16 percent of eligible Latinos voted as Republicans won historically big margins in both legislative chambers. The poor turnout is partly a factor of youth. Latinos are, on average, a decade younger than Anglos. Most are not in the habit of voting. If they live in a state like Texas or Georgia, it's likely that nobody has ever courted their vote.
Once Latinos begin to vote in proportion to their population, the change that they will bring to Southern (and American) politics won't be limited to a shift in party loyalties. It will be manifested in a new progressivism as well.
Republicans like to talk about how Latinos are "hardworking, religious, family-oriented," as if those qualities automatically made people conservative. In fact, an exit poll from 2012 showed the opposite: Latino voters are not only more liberal than Republicans; they're sometimes more liberal than Democrats. On same-sex marriage, 59 percent said yes, against 48 percent of all voters. Should abortion be legal? Sixty-six percent said yes, against 59 percent overall. On economic issues, Latinos' liberalism tends to be even more pronounced (the same is true for African Americans). Fifty-five percent said last year that they have a negative view of capitalism. They want more spending on public schools. They want universal, public-run health care. They want government to take a strong hand in the economy. Taxes? Raise them, if it means better social services. The same goes for every part of the South's emerging majority—African Americans, Asian Americans, and under-30 whites who voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012.
Given the progressive tilt of the South's coming majority, it's no wonder that Scott Keeter, head pollster at the Pew Research Center, calls the region "a ticking time bomb for Republicans." The Southern GOP is 88 percent white, and the white population is aging. Republicans will buy some time with their friendly legislative districts buffering any losses. They'll continue to try to make it harder for minorities and young people to vote—and if the Supreme Court strikes down Section Five of the Voting Rights Act this year, it will be easier to suppress votes in the South.
There's a cost to the time Republicans are buying. The Tea Party legislators who brought Republicans to power in 2010 are moving the party further right on practically every issue—at the same time that voters are tilting back toward the center. That's creating the kind of situation that unfolded last year in Virginia. Republican lawmakers pushed a bill requiring every woman who requests an abortion to have an invasive sonogram procedure. In an election year, in a battleground state that is trending Democratic, what sense does such sure-to-be-divisive legislation make? None at all, unless you're in a state—or a region—that is smack in the middle of a demographic revolution that is fueling a political one. It is a confusing business.
In the South's new battlegrounds, 2020 shapes up as a pivotal year. If Democrats have gathered enough strength by then to send majorities to Richmond, Raleigh, Atlanta, Tallahassee, and/or Austin, they can tear up the Republican maps from 2011 and make it dauntingly difficult for the GOP to regain its majorities. That's likeliest to happen in Florida, Virginia, and North Carolina; Democratic majorities could take longer in Texas and Georgia, where Republicans are more deeply entrenched.
But the politics of the big Southern states are all betwixt and between, as natives like to say. If Republicans can find a way to hold on to their majorities through 2020, they will stay competitive, on the state level at least, for another decade. Ultimately, they won't be able to keep winning unless they can convince Latinos and African Americans to vote Republican. If they do, Southern Republicans could become a model for the national GOP—the states that figured out how to persuade Latinos to vote Republican.
But it will be no quick or easy matter for the Southern Republican Party—built on a Chamber of Commerce foundation and lifted to victory by evangelical Christians—to find a message that can appeal to the South's new electorate. How do you build bridges to voters whose views would sound, to your average Southern Republican, socialistic and downright un-American?
More likely, destiny will follow demography. The South's big states could soon be undergirding a durable national Democratic majority that's capable of lasting as long as the New Deal consensus. Liberalism would have a chance to flourish anew—not just in state capitols but in Washington, D.C., as well. This would be an emphatic break from history. From Teddy Roosevelt's Square Deal to Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal to Barack Obama's stimulus and heath-care overhaul, the biggest obstacle has always been Congress's solid white wall of Southern conservatism. That wall is crumbling. In the future, if you can be progressive and win Texas or Georgia, the American political order will transform in ways we can barely comprehend.

What sets the south apart is the absence of white democrat voters and of white democrat elected officials. The southern whites have come much further than the northern whites in identifying with the GOP. This trend is also occurring nationally, but at a much slower pace. Over time, the Democratic Party will be seen as the party of minorities and the disaffected, while the GOP will be seen as the white party. The challenge for the GOP is to make itself palatable to white women, especially young white women, who are turned off by the War on Women.

You have got to be kidding. White Democrats in both houses far outnumber the non-white members. Whites who voted for Obama/Biden far outnumbered the non-whites who voted for them. The GOP, unless it wakes up, will be known only as the white bigots and idiots party.
Wed, 2013-07-10 00:31
As I recall, Obama in 2008 won the majority of young white Southern voters. Such a thing would have been unimaginable in the past. These young white Southerners will grow up to be older white Southerners, and they are unlikely to suddenly become GOP voting right-wingers as they grow older. Young people in general are the most liberal and progressive of any living generation.

End of the solid South? Interesting theory, but not a logical proposition. Consider that in 1992 Clinton carried Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas and Louisiana. In 1996 he carried Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Florida, Arkansas and Louisiana. Fast forward to 2008. The only Southern states Obama carried were Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. In 2012, North Carolina went back to the Republicans and Obama only carried Virginia and Florida by thin margins. Romney carried Georgia by nearly 8 points in 2012 whereas McCain only carried it by 5 in 2008. Demographics are changing for sure, but this article is a serious overreach, even for purposes of leftist propoganda.
Sadly, rather than cast their votes for establishment RINO's McCain and Romney in 2008 and 2012 respectively, a large number of Southern conservatives simply chose to sit these two elections out completely. It's a good bet that many of these voters will return to the electorate in 2014 just as the did in 2010, and we'll see who the Republicans tap for a presidential run in 2016. These factors will have more of an impact in the South in 2016 and 2020 than the writer is understandably (being a liberal), willing to acknowledge.

1. You seem to be blatantly ignoring the fact that the Dems did not carry any southern states in 2000 or 2004, and gee I don't know maybe the fact that Bill Clinton and Al Gore were both natives of southern states might have had something to do with winning the southern states you mentioned. I don't know. Maybe it was a just coincidence, but I think most "rational" and "logical" people would agree southern voters didn't magically just coincidentally like Clinton/Gore or Jimmy Carter because they liked the way their hair looked or the way their first names sounded.
2. You seem to have not read the article at all, the whole point is that GOP dominance in federal elections in southern states is UNSUSTAINABLE. If you seriously think that Texas is going to just as red if not MORE red today than it is in 2020, then you really are as stupid as the comment you posted. The same goes with NC and VA.
3. You think that turnout is the problem for the GOP among white voters in the south? You clearly did not read the part that pointed out the RIDICULOUSLY low turnout numbers among hispanics in Texas, for example.
4. Florida has already gone to the Dems in the past 2 elections and if you think the problem is white GOP voters not turning in FL then you clearly know NOTHING about politics in FL. The state legislature has done everything it can to prevent minorities from voting, with ridiculous wait times for voting as an example. Rick Scott is in BIG trouble down in FL. Despite him and the voter suppression tactics, the fact is FL has gone blue the past 2 elections. Tampa, Orlando and South Florida, believe it or not, are not becoming more conservative with time.
Wed, 2013-07-10 00:42
It is a logical proposition if you know the data. Dmocrats are inreasingly winning young white voters in the South, even majorities in some recent elections. Moderate whites and liberal blacks are moving in massive numbers down South. Hispanics are growing in terms of both population and percentage of voters. The old Solid South is a powder keg ready explode.
Mon, 2013-06-24 14:55
If this article's assessment is correct, there is great potential for new forms of organizing and wielding political power towards a better South. The AFL-CIO just passed a resolution to focus on organizing in South (something they have to do if they don't die out altogether). The fact is that what happens in the South doesn't just matter to the South. The South has always played a pivotal role in the history of American movements - specifically as a reactionary counter-balance. And that counter-balance has been based on the existence of the Solid South. My problem with this article is in its title "The End of the Solid South?" The Solid South is based on the cross class unity of whites - i.e. poor whites and rich whites, whether that be the Planters of earlier periods or how things are configured today. This article is not talking about breaking that cross-class unity... It's saying that there will be political power comprised of blacks, Latinos, Asians and young white Northern transplants who will overwhelm the Solid South. It never occurs to progressives that it might be possible to break open that cross-class unity. They just buy right into referring to "whites" as an undifferentiated bloc. They concede the poor whites... In fact, they usually think the poor whites are the enemy. The economy is asserting itself right now in ways that makes it possible to break that unity. Du Bois talked about the missed opportunity for the poor to take power in Black Reconstruction. "Progressives" mostly don't think about this fact. They want to "unite to fight the right" - never realizing that the fundamental question concerns the growing ranks of the poor and dispossessed in the face of the growing concentration of wealth into fewer hands. Many "progressives" don't actually want that question to be addressed. They just want to continue to be the Liberal Left-wing of the Democratic party, which is the other side of the same coin of two-parties that work for Wall Street.

Here is how I'd look at it. The key component is that of age brackets in terms of generations. Shifting racial demographics will magnify the shifting generational demographics.
Young voters as a group are the most ethnically diverse, racially mixed, socially liberal and economically progressive. The youngeest demographic that aren't eligible to vote yet are already minority majority. The young adults, Millennials, are coming to the age when they'll be eligible for important political positions. Millennials are the largest generation in US history.
The preceding generation, GenXers, are the smallest and can't fill all the top positions now occupied by Boomers. As Boomers retire and die, Millennials are going to jump right to the top of both government and corporations.
It will be one of the most dramatic demographic shifts in all of American history. And it is going to hit the South the hardest. There is going to be massive white flight to the North.
Conservatives are going to regret having ever committed themselves to the Southern Strategy and they will regret it for generations to come. With the Southern Strategy, conservative whites handed power into the hands of an emerging progressive South. The new minority majority and their new young white allies in the South aren't going to forget about Jim Crow, race-baiting and voter suppression. Republicans are going to reap what they have sowed.

The Progressive presidential candidate Tom Watson used to say it well, from the back of his buckboard:
"Ain't but three things wrong with the South, Northern banks, Northern railroads and Northern IN-shoo-ance companies."
Sadly he was a racist, so he was only maybe three-quarters correct.
But the part he got right he got really right.

If you are like the rest of us, the first thing you want to do is find out what's available for any potential project cars you may be looking to get into. On the other hand, if you've already got the car you want in mind, then you're probably doing extensive research to find out what's available and what will work best based on your individual needs.
Generally speaking, the most common modifications that are applied to any project vehicle or weekend hauler come in the form of basic bolt-ons. These components are fairly inexpensive, easy to install with simple handtools, and have a short downtime, getting you get back on the road faster to enjoy the new goodies.
If you're contemplating a complete suspension overhaul for your Camaro or Nova, then you'll appreciate the guide we've put together this month. For this segment, we've compiled a database for the most complete bolt-on suspension packages available. If you're looking for a lower stance, a more solid ride, or just improved handling in general, then this is the guide to keep. We've included different stages of suspensions that can transform your ride from a bland street car into something more modest, but also included packages that can transform any Camaro or Nova into an aggressive corner carving machine.
In order to showcase the most complete guide as possible, we've outlined what each system will fit, what it comes with, different stages (if any), where to purchase them, and last but not least, we've listed the price you can expect to pay.
Quick Notes
What We Did
Gathered the most complete front and rear bolt-on kits available for Camaros and Novas
Bottom Line
Remove the guesswork to finding and installing the ultimate tailored suspension package for your project car

"Inocente" is one of five films nominated for Best Documentary Short. Page B4.
Five years ago, if you had told Inocente Izucar, who has been homeless in San Diego much of her young life, she'd be walking the red carpet at the 2013 Academy Awards, she would have thought you were crazy.
Yet that's where she'll be as the star of "Inocente," a film nominated Thursday for an Oscar for best short documentary. It is her story, her words, her colorful expressions and personal style that bring the story to life.
At age 14, Inocente found refuge at a nonprofit San Diego program, ARTS: A Reason to Survive, that reaches out to young people in crisis through creative arts. That is where husband-and-wife film team, Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine, discovered her and decided she had a powerful story to tell. They spent four days with her before turning on a camera, then returned periodically over the next two years to document her activities.
Inocente, who just turned 19, tells people her role was easy. "I didn't have to act. I just had to live my life. They just followed me around with a camera."
Inocente, her mother and three younger brothers migrated from shelter to shelter, moving 30 times in nine years, sometimes seeking refuge in the streets. Her father, an illegal immigrant, was deported to Mexico for domestic abuse.
Despite a bleak home life, Inocente gravitated to brilliant colors, painting her face, her clothing and transforming canvases into vibrant flowers, rainbow-hued animals and geometric designs, often with inexpensive leftover house paint.
She's not sure what she'll wear on the red carpet Feb. 24, except it most likely will have to coordinate with her red, high-topped Chuck Taylor sneakers. Oh, and Inocente is asking permission to bring one of her two lop-eared bunnies with her. After all, they, too, came from a shelter.
Life after politics: Former state Sen. Christine Kehoe, freshly termed out of the state legislature, began her now job last week as executive director of the California Plug-In Electric Vehicle Collaborative. She'll remain living in San Diego but will make frequent trips to Sacramento. Her agency's mission is to reduce barriers to creation of electric charging stations with a goal of working toward Gov. Brown's directive for the state to be ready to support more than 1 million electric vehicles by 2020.
Taste test: Actor Dean McDermott, who co-starred with his wife, Tori Spelling, in their reality show, "Tori & Dean: Inn Love," on owning and running a bed-and-breakfast in Fallbrook, is competing against seven other celebrities on Food Network's "Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off" series.
McDermott debuted in his first competition Sunday en route to the Cook-Off championship which would award a $50,000 donation to the charity of his choice. He has selected a San Diego nonprofit, Miracle Babies, which aids needy families with newborns in intensive care.
Around town: When Janet Allison, mother of bridegroom Matthew Ferguson, and Janet Coulon, mother of bride Anne Marie Coulon, met at Gold Fish Point in La Jolla for a small private wedding last week, they were joined by yet another Janet, retired Judge Janet Kintner, who presided over the nuptials.

If you haven't heard the latest item dredged up from Christine O'Donnell's past here it is.
Note to self: Don't reveal youthful indiscretions to an unfunny liberal douche-bag in front of TV cameras.
I do a lot of top 10 lists, and this video has me thinking I should do one outlining the reasons I can never run for public office that don't include the things I say on this blog.
Does this clip do anything to prove she even was an avowed witch? I don't know, I'm not prepared to defend her on that count, but it truly does come across to me as someone who was being young, dumb, and wanting to sound cool on a show where she was undoubtedly treated like the nerd in school people only talked to when they wanted her help cheating on a test.
This show was taped on the eve of liberals losing their iron grip on the media, back then conservatives had to get a little Patrick Dempsy circa "Can't Buy Me Love" if they wanted to hang with that Rat Pack (not the cool kind with Frankie and Sammie...Maher and his pals actually are a pack of rats).
What really gets me going on this is the head-spinning hypocrisy on religion from the left. I guess too much of their sanctimonious first amendment energy has been focused on lecturing us about allowing the Ground Zero Mosque, they just don't have anything left to be consistent on this issue.
Speaking of consistency...
Lets assume for a second that she gleefully engaged in Wiccan activities. O'Donnell has long since come to Christianity, and she came to it because she found the emptiness of living, by her own admission, a sexually loose life among other indiscretions.
Amazing Grace is one of the most beautiful and profound songs ever written and it came from a reformed slave trader. Perhaps we should start banning the song from churches....or maybe Bill Maher needs to get a life and we should support O'Donnell's advocacy for what American life should be today.

Panasonic VW-CLT1 3D camcorder lens hands-on
Panasonic debuted its VW-CLT1 3D camcorder lens in 2010, but it's now available to buy separately and can be used with a selection of models from the brand's new product lineup. We managed to get some hands-on time with the new lens at Panasonic's 2011 product showcase.
The VW-CLT1 lens can be used with a selection of Panasonic camcorders including the HDC-SD900, HDC-TM900 and HDC-SD800 and it can also be paired up with the SD90 using the included adaptor ring. Until recently, the lens was only available when bought as part of a package with the HDC-SDT750 - the world's first consumer 3D camcorder and it's only now that the the VW-CLT1 can be bought separately and used with a selection of models.The dual lenses inside the device record right-eye and left-eye images simultaneously to produce three-dimensional footage.
Measuring 78 x 59 x 97mm, the lens is relatively compact and shouldn't be too much trouble to cart around. It comes with screw-on lens caps for both ends which is perhaps preferable to lens cover that can simply be popped off, as it's less likely to fall off in your bag. We found that attaching the lens to a camcorder was child's play - you simply turn the recessed dial to the right to unlock the mechanism, fit the two tiny plastic pins onto the corresponding holes on the front of the camcorder and turn the dial to the left to lock it. And don't worry if you're having a moment of madness and can't remember your left from right - the words 'lock' and 'unlock' and clearly written on either side of the dial so that the process is completely foolproof.
We fitted the lens to the HDC-TM900 camcorder, which immediately brings up a message that asks you to calibrate the settings for 3D viewing if you haven't already done so. There's a small control panel hidden a flap on the top of the lens for tweaking the settings. We found that the entire setup process was very easy indeed although we didn't find shooting quite as fuss-free.
At 195g, the lens isn't exactly heavy, but when attached to a relatively lightweight camcorder, we found that it felt quite unbalanced. Attaching something to the front of the product is always going to add some extra bulk but with most interchangable lens stills cameras, it seems that more thought has been put into the design and weighting of the camera to counteract this. However, impressive as it is, the 3D lens seems a bit more like an afterthought in terms of the camcorder's design. We found that we had to adjust the velcro strap that goes around the hand and make it really quite tight to stop the camcorder from tipping forwards. Any kind of long-term filming is likely to give you arm-ache, so a tripod is probably in order.
Despite this slight drawback, seeing the 3D lens in action is very impressive indeed. It has a filming range of 1m to infinity, but what's really important is the 1.5m convergence point. This means that anything that's 1.5m away from the lens will appear flat on your 3D image, while objects in front of that point will appear to be protruding from the image and anything behind it will produce the illusion of depth.
The footage that we saw from the 3D lens was displayed on one of Panasonic's 3D plasma panels (naturally), and after donning our active shutter specs the three-dimensional effect looked great, although the resolution appeared to be slightly lower than what you're get from 2D footage. The 3D lens tends to work best on scenes where there's obvious perspective (such as a corrider), or on movement towards the camera as well as scenes that have lot of obvious layers of depth, such as a football crowd. The most important point seems to be keeping anything that's in front of the convergence point well framed. If an object is too close to the camera so that its edges go off the side of the image, this looks very confusing to the eyes, as does anything that's connected to the ground - for example, it's someone is standing in front of the convergence point.
Overall, we were very impressed with the results, we just hope that the next version of the lens is a little bit lighter, or that the relevant camcorders are weighted to compensate.

It wasn't long ago when a loss at North Carolina State put pressure on Jimbo Fisher. Oh, how a year can change perception.
Florida State heads to North Carolina State for its first true road game of the season in Week 4. The Seminoles are on the road in the opener against Oklahoma State, but it's a neutral site (Dallas) and expected to be equal in fan support. The Wolfpack have perennially given the Seminoles fits, even in last year's 49-17 win when all the points came in the second half to draw Fisher's criticism of his team's "finishing" skills.
FSU also plays an Atlantic Coast Conference game at home against Wake Forest a week later. The Demon Deacons have been blasted by the Seminoles in each of the last two meetings after the series was more competitive between 2006-11.
N.C. State
The Wolfpack slid to the depths of the ACC last season, ending 3-9 overall and 0-8 in conference play. Inconsistency plagued the team throughout the lineup and it started at quarterback, where two signal-callers took turns being ineffective. The Wolfpack capped the year with eight straight defeats.
Brandon Mitchell and Pete Thomas combined for 15 interceptions and 11 touchdowns in 16 total appearances. N.C. State averaged a modest 22 points a game on offense while putting up more than 400 a contest. The trouble was in scoring touchdowns with 20 or fewer points in six losses.
Most of the meager production at wide receiver also is gone along with Mitchell and Thomas. Running back Shadrach Thornton is the most productive of seven returners on offense with 768 yards and four scores last season. N.C. State does have four offensive linemen to build behind with 57 combined starts.
FSU could be facing its second former Florida Gator at quarterback in Jacoby Brissett. He transferred and sat out last season while being named the team's best scout player. He doesn't have much competition to win the job.
The Wolfpack return seven starters from a defense that surrendered more than 30 points per game. There's experience there, but the question is how much will they improve?
Wake Forest
New coach Dave Clawson has a few concerns heading into his first season.
He inherited a team coming off a 4-8 season with five consecutive losses. And he also installs a new offense and must compensate for the departure of two big stars.
The first was quarterback Tanner Price, who played admirably on an average to bad team with 2,233 yards and 13 touchdowns to go along with 10 interceptions, while adding 211 yards and five TDs on the ground. His favorite target, wide receiver Michael Campanaro, also is gone. All Campanaro did was grab 67 passes for 803 yards and six scores.
The next-closest receiver, Tyree Harris, had 23 receptions and 225 yards. In other words, it's going to take some time to find some playmakers, if at all.
Jared Crump adds some experience on a woefully young receiving corps, the soon-to-be-sophomore finishing with 16 catches for 176 yards. Graduate transfer E.J. Scott has more overall experience playing for Virginia for three seasons and tallying 420 yards on 32 grabs while also returning kickoffs.
Tyler Cameron and Kevin Sousa will battle at quarterback. Cameron played in three games in 2013. Sousa played in two games as a redshirt freshman in 2012 but didn't appear in a game last season.
Inexperience at quarterback is nothing new for FSU this season. The Seminoles' defense will face many quarterbacks entering first years as starters. This doesn't bode well with FSU having one of the best defensive backfields in the country.
Defensively, Wake Forest wasn't terrible, for the most part. The Demon Deacons gave up 24 points per game, but were gashed through the air for 233 yards per contest.
- FSU's top returning players: QB Jameis Winston (4,057 yards, 40 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 219 yards rushing, four TDs), RB Karlos Williams (730 yards, 11 TDs), WR Rashad Greene (1,128 yards, nine TDs), TE Nick O'Leary (557 yards, seven TDs), WR Kermit Whitfield (two rushing TDs, 619 kickoff return yards, two TDs), OL Josue Matias (29 starts), OL Cameron Erving (28 starts), PK Roberto Aguayo (21-22 FGs, 53 long, 94-94 XP), LB Terrance Smith (59 tackles, two sacks), DB Jalen Ramsey (49 tackles, one INT, one fumble recovery), DE Mario Edwards Jr. (28 tackles, 9½ for loss, 3½ sacks), DB P.J. Williams (35 tackles, three INTs), DB Ronald Darby (14 tackles, two INTs), DB Nate Andrews (35 tackles, four INts), LB Reggie Northrup (46 tackles).
- North Carolina State's top returning players: RB Shadrach Thornton (768 yards, four TDs, 16 receptions), OL Tyson Chandler (23 starts), OL Joe Thuney (12 starts), WR Jumichael Ramos (352 yards, three TDs), PK Niklas Sade (19-23 FGs, 48 long, 31-31 XP), LB Brandon Pittman (62 tackles, two sacks), DB Hakim Jones (61 tackles, two INTs), DB Justin Burris (54 tackles, one INT).
- Wake Forest's top returning players: WR Tyree Harris (225 yards), WR Jared Crump (176 yards, one TD, 7.4 yards per punt return), DB Ryan Janvion (95 tackles), LB Brandon Chubb (88 tackles), DB Kevin Johnson (58 tackles, three INTs).
- First-glance predictions: Going on the road might give FSU some trouble early, but the Seminoles are the better team. They'll roll in the game just as they will against Wake Forest.
- Next week: A look at an ACC road game at Syracuse, which faced FSU last season for the first time as conference foes.

Time flies when you're covering Super Chevy Shows. Seems like just yesterday we were in Jupiter, Florida covering the season opener, and, BLAM, it's Labor Day weekend and time to head north of the border for our annual visit to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and Castrol Raceway for the ninth stop of the 2013 Super Chevy Show series.
Our Canadian Chevy brothers are great enthusiasts, and are always excited to see us—and we them. We get to see some unique cars at this event, including the hybrid Acadians and Beaumonts that blended parts of two divisions for a time. On the racer side, the pits were packed with some fast machines, and the Pro Mod racer turnout was great, with 19 in attendance. Attendees at the show this year got a special opportunity to make pace laps on the newly finished road course at Castrol Raceway, and we had our AMSOIL Best of the Best competition to show off the best Bow Ties at the event.
It was a great weekend in the Great White North, and we hope it's even better next year.
|Gold Class Winner
|Larry & Marline Sibert, '69 Camaro RS
|Editor's Choice Show Car
|Mark Stallard, '74 Z28
|Alexander Weslosky, '56 210 Sedan
|Stephen Hopkins, '70 Chevelle SS396
|Dean Watts, '70 Nova SS396
|Ralph & Brenda Christian, '61 Corvette
|Editor's Choice Drag Car
|Tyler Gritten, '62 Nova/Acadian Convertible
|Mark Kaplan, '71 Z28
|Dustin Kalynchuk, '91 S-10
|Calvin Hiller, '63 Nova
|Wayne Smith, '63 Nova
Larry and Marline Seibert's full custom '69 Camaro RS was an absolute work of art that had been on display in the Auto Metal Direct booth at the 2012 SEMA Show. From top to bottom, there wasn't one aspect of this car that wasn't modified. And the '59-'60 Impala dash grafted in was a unique touch. Watch for a future feature on this one.
Walking the pits, there was no missing Dustin Kalynchuk's super clean '91 S-10. Dustin ran a 10.46 at 129.72 on the track, and was definitely worthy of an Editor's Choice award. Unfortunately for him, he went home early with a red light start in competition.
The Pro Mod class was jam packed at Edmonton, with 19 in competition, one of the biggest Pro Mod fields of the season.
Filling the rare factory muscle role at the show was Dean Watts gorgeous, fully documented '70 SS396 Nova. It was built at Willow Run and delivered to Preston Chevrolet/Oldsmobile in Langley, British Columbia. Besides the usual SS equipment, Dean's car has a full gauge package, including ultra rare factory tachometer.
Another one of our Editor's Choice winners from the race side was Taylor Gritten driving Garnet Rose's '63 Acadian convertible. Besides being amazingly straight and clean, seeing such a rare car rocketing down the quarter-mile was an amazing sight.
Part of this year's event included the opportunity to make pace laps on Castrol Raceway's just completed road course.
It was hard to miss Mark Stallard's Z28 when it pulled into line with the other Camaros. It was originally built and painted for the show circuit back in 1980, when this style of over-the-top presentation was the norm for impressing crowds and judges. The multi-colored effects showed a level of detail only true high-end paint jobs have.
Burning it down old school style was this '55 hardtop!
A wolf in sheep's clothing? At the 2012 show, Andrew Chemello was racing his '68 Chevelle. This year, he decided to enter it in the show competition.
In the Fullsize class, Leonard Green's factory big-block '69 Impala was livin' large.
What would you do if you had a C6 Z06?

It concerns me that anti-Semitism is treated more seriously than other forms of persecution, especially when the holocaust is invoked to justify it (though I'm not saying that's the case here). Anti-Semitism should fall under 'racial discrimination' or 'religious hatred', both of which are valid offences to prosecute. And let me be very clear, I am not excusing such racist comments in any way - I find them abhorrent. I just think it's dangerous to treat anti-Semitism differently to the hatred of Muslims or black people, especially when it is used to shield Israel from any criticism.
There's a cultural question when it comes about knowing why anti-semitism is treated differently. Jews often consider themselves as the oppressed choosen people, it's in their culture (I'm not talking about religion there), I have some Jewish friends whom I talked about this, and they agreed. The direct consequence is that they are extremely vocal about any kind of agression against them, hence the perceived difference in treatment.
