The Myth of 'the Southern Strategy'
New York Times

By CLAY RISEN
Published: December 10, 2006

Everyone knows that race has long played a decisive role in Southern
electoral politics. From the end of Reconstruction until the beginning
of the civil rights era, the story goes, the national Democratic Party
made room for segregationist members - and as a result dominated the
South. But in the 50s and 60s, Democrats embraced the civil rights
movement, costing them the white Southern vote. Meanwhile, the
Republican Party successfully wooed disaffected white racists with a
"Southern strategy" that championed "states' rights."

It's an easy story to believe, but this year two political scientists
called it into question. In their book "The End of Southern
Exceptionalism," Richard Johnston of the University of Pennsylvania
and Byron Shafer of the University of Wisconsin argue that the shift
in the South from Democratic to Republican was overwhelmingly a
question not of race but of economic growth. In the postwar era, they
note, the South transformed itself from a backward region to an engine
of the national economy, giving rise to a sizable new wealthy suburban
class. This class, not surprisingly, began to vote for the party that
best represented its economic interests: the G.O.P. Working-class
whites, however - and here's the surprise - even those in areas with
large black populations, stayed loyal to the Democrats. (This was true
until the 90s, when the nation as a whole turned rightward in
Congressional voting.)

The two scholars support their claim with an extensive survey of
election returns and voter surveys. To give just one example: in the
50s, among Southerners in the low-income tercile, 43 percent voted for
Republican Presidential candidates, while in the high-income tercile,
53 percent voted Republican; by the 80s, those figures were 51 percent
and 77 percent, respectively. Wealthy Southerners shifted rightward in
droves but poorer ones didn't.
