OK, so in what ever state you live in all the people that live in the inner city of your state are conservative voters? BULLCR%P
For example, are you telling me that the African Americans and Hispanics in Memphis did not primarily vote for Obama in both of the last two elections? How about Austin, Atlanta, Birmingham, Little Rock, Columbia, Dallas, New Orleans, etc. All of these states went for the Republican but their cities predominately vote Democrat. What I am stating is the New England rural areas are not that much different that the rural areas in the rest of the country.
The difference is the urban populations OUTVOTE the country people.
Oh, please...in RURAL counties like Coos, Grafton, Cheshire, and Sullivan; Obama slaughtered Romney. Hillsborough, which is more urban/suburban, went to Romney (albeit by a whisker). You're right that in MOST situations, urban outvotes rural. Red Hampshire rural areas vote Democrat; by a WIDE margin. RH = blue state.
