<br />LBJ would have loved to think that he predicted the south would be Republican, but it was not he but Sen. Richard B. Russell, Jr. (D) of Gerogia that told LBJ that if the voting rights act of 1964 passed that "Mr. President if this passes you will lose the South for the Democratic party forever." That is vintage Russell not LBJ. If you want to learn more about this strange relationship it can be found in the Bio on LBJ "Master of the Senate" where the author writes that Russell was as close to a mentor as LBJ ever got. By the way in an asside, Senator Russell was partial to the Southern Cresent Limited going North and The Southerner returning South.
