I find it incredibly hard to believe that in an article as long as this there was no mention of the obvious differences between those counties that are democrat, and those that are republican. Anyone who just glances at the red/blue map of the last presidential election can tell you that the only places democrats are competitive on a national basis is in large metropolitan areas. If one could erase whatever the single largest city is in any state, the dems would never win another national election. Actually it's worse than that really. If you were to factor out the 4 largest metro areas in the country, the vote totals wouldn't even be close.

Sorry I didn't answer to any of your replies yet. I was stuck on the 9/11 commission thread for the last two or so hours.

This is a very important point. Most all the libs live inside city limits of large cities, and tend to never get news from anything but ABS, CBS, NBS, CNN MSBNS, etc. They actually believe everything the media say.
