Is it like the disingenuous old Blue/Red state maps used by pundits to decry one region as left or right? In such cases the true divide turned out not to be between state and state, but between big cities and the rural counties that surrounded them. (E.g. Rural New York is more conservative than Dallas). Do you think a similar pattern could be found here?T.
