The South Rose Again and the Yankee Is Out

Mitt Romney is out of the race for the Republican nominee for President. This former Yankee, now proud-to-be-Southerner is glad. The Southern states whose primaries were on Super Tuesday united and gave the boot to the Yankee carpetbagger. Together, we showed our displeasure to any politician who disses our flag.

Romney, during his campaign, made several statements regarding the Confederate battleflag. He said it should not be shown and made it clear he wanted nothing to do with it. In contrast, Huckabee colorfully described what Southern states should do to Yanks who try to dictate the flags Southerners should fly.

Political pundits in the media expected Huckabee to have his clock cleaned for his support of the right of Southerners to fly any Confederate flag. Instead, Southern voters cleaned Romney's clock. It left the leftwing media in a state of shock. No one expected Huckabee to do as well as he did on Super Tuesday. Instead, they were all agreeing with Romney that Huckabee should quit. What a difference a day makes. The South rose again on Super Tuesday and the Yankee is out of the race.
