He carried Southern states using a populist edge that other Democratic pols could not hope to win.
Populism is feared by both the DLC and even late-20th Century liberals; the style, corn pone, and the specter of "unromanticized" non-minorities (re: white folks), bellying up to the counter for a piece of the pie is just too much.
