Jacksonian Democrats

Micheal Barone has written about Andrew Jackson, the first Democrat, in terms of a swath populated by what he refers to as 'Jacksonian Democrats'. Primarily regional from SW PA down to AR, but also includes a nationalist bent (i.e. pro-American). Scots-Irish. Salt-of-the-earth. Warriors. Where are today's Jacksonian Demorats? Hello?

Micheal Barone was the Senior Political Analyst for US News for decades. He is widely considered one of the best voting prognosticators out there. I understand that he has actually visited every one of 435 Congressional Districts. I have learned to ALWAYS listen to him. The man knows US politics.
