Why do you keep doing this to yourself Lyle?
Helms' first full-time job after college was as a sports reporter with The Raleigh Times.[23] During World War II, Helms served stateside as a recruiter in the United States Navy. After the war, he pursued his twin interests, journalism and politics (at that time, within the Democratic Party). Helms became the city news editor of The Raleigh Times and later moved to radio and television.
Helms himself never ran as anything other than a Republican....although I am aware of the fact that he helped a Democrat beat up on Franklin Porter Graham
OK so if Trent Lott never "technically" ran as a dixiecrat then why the hell are you trying to bring it up....I don't care. All I am saying is if you look at Jesse Helms you're only going to see an R by his name. Whereas with Strom Thurmond he ran as a Democrat a couple times....even as a State's Rights Candidate for President in 1948.
But hey whatever makes you happy....as long as all you liberals can be happy I don't mind
