And many voted democrat as recently as 1992...hell carter won the entire south in 1976

You just conceded.

Carter - southern democrat
Clinton - southern democrat

Enough of the new Republicans at the time felt comfortable voting for someone who seemingly represented what the south used to be--solidly democratic.
The other Carter and Clinton voters were still southern democrats who had not made the transfer yet.
Example: LOUISIANA voted Democrat in 1996. Most of those people are now Republican.
It's not that hard to figure out.

sources: southern politics poli sci class. We studied EVERY election in detail from the 1930s on.
undergraduate degree: history
graduate degree: history (southern emphasis)
current job: US History teacher

And your credentials are? I really don't like being such an insufferable douche, but you leave me no choice.

Don't worry, I don't steer our youth wrong...
