This generation of conservatives are not hellbent on racial demagoguery like the Southern Democrats up until the 1970s. Republicans for decades have been trying to build a biracial and multi-ethnic coalition of support for their agenda and for them, it's about the spirit of the individual opposed to the collective.
Republicans for more than a century have tried to prove that they were the champions of equal opportunity and the bitterest foes of racial discrimination. They see people as individuals, not as members of a racial group, which is showing of their commitment to equal opportunity and equal protection of the laws. The authors of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments did not want a system of racial purity, they wanted the freed people to be treated as individuals, but white southerners weren't going to let them live in peace and thus, they glorified racial violence as a means from taking the region back against carpetbagger Republicans who's power was ensured by a posse army.
Republicans only became more competitive in the south in the 1970s and it wasn't because of racial politics, it was because the South as a region had changed, it's values has since changed from championing racial politics to a conservatism that favors lower taxes, that is pro-gun, pro-life and for smaller government. As the south became less racist, it gradually became more Republican.
If southern rednecks ditched the Democrats in 1964 because of a civil rights law, it is strange that they waited until the 1980s and early 1990s to do so. Things move slower in the south, but not that slow.
History has moved on, like other regions in the country, unlike in the past, the south votes values, not skin color.

Fresh out of the gate, McSally coming on very strong. There's been some back-and-forth over Sinema's point or two lead in the polls. Forecasters hedge and haw, sensing that Sinema's lead will evaporate. I think so too. I believe the next few polls will show that this is McSally's to lose.

Can't help but think this is the sort of special election that the Democrats would have won between 2006 and 2008. While certainly not a result worthy of Trump's braggadocio, it does indicate that the Dems still have work to do in the Midwest.
