Brazile Piece on Southern White Endorsements

Donna Brazile has a great piece in the Washington Times about the importance of Tim Kaine endorsing Barack Obama. In short, it is symbolic for a white Southern Governor to endorse a Black Northern Senator. The article makes some great points, so check it out. An excerpt:

Mr. Kaine's endorsement could help Mr. Obama immensely in the South by helping him raise money, select delegates and organize volunteers to help compete in neighboring states. Can you imagine if other Southern governors like Phil Breseden of Tennessee or Michael Easley of North Carolina or Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco of Louisiana (my home state) would wave the Obama banner and stand next to him as he competes for the support of their constituents? Richard Nixon's famous "Southern strategy" would become history, and America would finally turn the page on what Obama calls the "politics of yesterday."
