I can't remember the source, but between New York and California, three million residents leaving those states explain some of the voting shift. Similar losses elsewhere explain more. I doubt that they are all rats. IMHO, most are not.

between cities on the coasts and the less-dense areas..is where the battle lines have been drawn.
They were there when Bush was running for POTUS.
Watch for the Liberal Disapora as they flee that which they have constructed, move to more Conservative areas, and desperately attempt to re-create the same 'utopia' they just fled.

I’ll save you the ink with a no prisoners style comment:
Dumb, white dead male voters rescued the GOP. Reading this trashy analysis is waste of time.

The Republican Party's big gains in the House came largely from districts that were older, less diverse and less educated than the nation as a whole.
Stopped reading here. Barf alert?

Like I said, when liberals call us white and stupid, you know they don’t get it.
I live in exactly such a place.

I liked this comment - state of the liberal mind:
"Republicans do the best in areas that are typically not growing very fast and don't look like the present, or certainly the future, of the country," said Ruy Teixeira, a Democratic political strategist with the Center for American Progress."
Like my CO small town. And how bright does the future of CA, NY and MA look?

It shows how tone deaf they are. America is rejecting “elitism”. This article oozes it.

Did ANYONE here of ANY exit polling this time around that asked the specific question of exiting voters "DO YOU APPROVE OF PRESIDENT OBAMA OR NOT?"Also I wanted to hear specifically asked of 2008 Obama Voters, "As you had voted for Mr. Obama two years ago, will you be voting, if the election were held today, for him again?"
Does ANYONE know if any of the networks, polling agencies, etc. posed those questions on a major scale at the polls earlier this month? All I have heard is silence on the matter. I of course know what the votes meant, but I wonder if they did this kind of specific issue-based polling as well. It could prove to be good ammo against the denialist Dems.

The MSM is seeking to depict this November as the last hurrah of rural and small town America. You knew its us bitter-clinger, redneck bible thumper gun lovers in blue coveralls who kicked the Democrats out. We’re an endangered species.

The Obama coalition remained intact. Democrats remained strong in areas with the party's core of minorities and higher-educated (I have no doubt they have been properly trained & educated) Marxist whites.

The article helpfully points out Republicans hold only a third of the seats in Latino areas.
But its only in the last third of the article that you learn the GOP is no longer just a DEWM party. Go figure.

The aesthetic, professional, and government employee groups along with the permanent underclass. In other words, any one who is dependent on government for a living voted for the Democrats.

Watch for the Liberal Disapora as they flee that which they have constructed, move to more Conservative areas, and desperately attempt to re-create the same 'utopia' they just fled. We have seen that happen here in Southwestern Missouri.
Retired liberals flee St Louis, Chicago and even our own queen city Springfield, Missouri to smaller towns and villages.
It doesn't long after they arrive for them to attempt to screw up some great places to live.

> Results from November's midterm elections have exposed a deepening political divide between cities on the coasts and the less-dense areas in the middle of the country.
I was just going to bed but this caught my eye and I had to comment...
Results from the last several years elections have exposed a deepening political divide between urban areas and the rest of the country.
There, fixed it.
If you look at the county returns plotted on a U.S. map, virtually all large urban areas vote commiecrat blue, while everywhere else, the country is republican,(now Conservative) red. The blue states are only blue in the big cities. Case in point, Cleveland Ohio is a massive stain of blue, but go 20 miles outside the city proper and it is surrounded by a sea of red.

And the first thing they do is get on local governing boards and attempt to control their new neighbors!!
