Will the GOP Lose the South?

Probably. Throughout the south, McCain remains very unpopular amongst GOP supporters -- if it wasn't for Romney and Huckabee splitting the dixie vote 50/50, McCain would have lost every southern state except for Louisiana (which Ron Paul won anyway). Throw in the tidal wave loss for the GOP that's coming in the house (and we saw a glimpse of it last night) and a massive, heavily-energized black voter block, McCain could lose large swaths of the south to Obama -- giving us a massive realignment of the US political map. If Bob Barr indeed wins the Libertarian Party nomination, Obama could even win Georgia by a significant margin.

Southern Republicans are not going to show up to the polls to vote for a leftist who sees the Confederate flag as a symbol of hatred (I'm talking about McCain), but blacks WILL show up in records numbers to elect Obama in a landslide victory.
