Norm Ornstein Interview at Salon: The South Controls the U.S. House of Representatives



The Salon interview of Norm Ornstein is linked below.

Norm Ornstein: The Southern Control of the House of Representatives

"The bottom line was that it’s the House party and the Southern party, which are the dominant forces out there; they are the ones driving the dialogue. And the fact is that in the House party you’ve got people who come from homogeneous echo chambers in their districts and are concerned, most of them, only about primaries. The Southern party has a very different worldview from the rest of the country, and is not moved by broader national opinion. It is much more overtly hostile to Obama, and I suspect that race is a part of it."
