27. Southern delegations
Here is the D percentage of each Southern state, and the raw numbers. I have used only the 11 states of the Confederacy, and listed them in descending order:

AR 5/6= 83.3%
LA 5/9= 55.5%
TX 16/34= 47.0%
NC 7/15= 46.6%
TN 5/11= 45.4%
GA 6/15= 40%
SC 3/8= 37.5%
FL 9/27= 33.3%
MS 2/6= 33.3%
VA 3/13= 23.0%
AL 2/9= 22.2%

Dems who would ignore AR and LA because they are part of a despised region, despite all evidence of their winnability, are bigots who would cost us the election in the name of purity. Fortunately, no candidate would dare think about this issue the way many DUers obviously do. The election is won state by state, not by region.
