Nice analysis as always Parakram. The analysis is great and there are many things that I didn't know about the deep south and Alabama. There are many areas that are considered purple in the country, Alabama is definitely not one of them. Alabama has been red for a long time and getting deeper red. I doubt if they always vote along policy lines and mostly along just the social hot button issues since their standing in terms of their financial well-being has not improved over a long time. So obviously they are not voting with their heads and wallets, but their hearts
