The South will, at the end of this century, be the economic and cultural center of the country. That seems inevitable. We're slowly but surely dropping social conservatism but holding firm regarding fiscal conservatism. That is the ideal mix for a region that has happy and healthy people.
Is fiscal conservatism your only reason for believing this? Because the rest of the country is already subsidizing the South, we have the poorest states and the least amount of tax revenue.

Do you realize that only in the past 6 years many Southern states became majority republican in their State legislatures? I know MS had never had a R majority in both state houses until just a few years ago.
Only recently have Southern states began to adopt more conservative policies. The area is rapidly growing in industry, largely due to tax breaks and "right to work" anti union stances.
The shift won't happen overnight, but businesses are flocking to Southern states and rapidly fleeing the liberal run Northern States.
