You are addressing the recipe for losing, which is to kiss off the south and go for the swing states. It hasn't worked for the Democrats in decades. Look at the electoral map for Clinton in '92 and '96. He wins key southern states. That is a winning strategy. Kissing off the south and hoping to win Ohio is a losing hand, especially if the Democrat runs left of center.
