[lbo-talk] Dems: Nominate A Northerner, Lose the White House

[dredmond at efn.org]

Quoting mike larkin <mike_larkin2001 at yahoo.com>:


> 1964: nominate Southerner.  Win.
> 1968: nominate Northerner.  Lose.
[Etc. etc. until 2000.]

Sampling fallacy: JFK was from the North, and so was FDR (a total of five
terms). Truman was from Missouri -- in some ways, a border state, but definitely
not deep South.
