It's the Cities, Stupid.
I just found this while trolling Facebook:
The Urban Archipelago: It’s the Cities, Stupid.
by the editors of my fave Seattle publication, The Stranger
To red-state voters, to the rural voters, residents of small, dying towns, and soulless sprawling exburbs, we say this: Fuck off. Your issues are no longer our issues. We’re going to battle our bleeding-heart instincts and ignore pangs of misplaced empathy. We will no longer concern ourselves with a health care crisis that disproportionately impacts rural areas. Instead we will work toward winning health care one blue state at a time.
This was written after Bush illegally stole the election in 2004.
