south carolina senator smith and the other conservative incumbents all won their primary contests and won re-election too. roosevelt managed to defeat only one conservative; john o'connor, the congressman from new york and chairman of the powerful house rules committee. the purge was a flop. what were the main reasons for the failure? it's a long list. the liberal challengers whom roosevelt supported were mostly political amateurs and disorganized amateurs. the incumbents had their own well-organized political machines. many state newspapers supported the incumbents. people resented roosevelt's interfering in state and local politics, and roos veld had not -- roosevelt had not given himself and his staff and democratic party organizers nearly enough time to carefully build up liberal bases. roosevelt did not succeed in his ultimate goal which was party realignment. but the purge did herald the realignment that would take place as i discuss in detail in my book in the 1960s, '70s and '80s after the civil rights act of 1964 and 1965 and after nix son and reagan's so-called southern strategies. today the once solidly democratic south is solid no more. what happen
