However, I think some of that is changing, as people move to urban areas and they get larger and we (some of us, anyway) get priced out of their centers. For instance, I would not be at all surprised if people migrating to southern New Hamsphire from Boston are the reason NH went blue this year. I think in an election cycle or two the same thing may happen to Virginia.
I think to some extent people become more liberal when they move to urban areas, just because they're exposed to urban values and to greater diversity. So I'm not so worried about the tendency for people to flee the red valleys and congregate in the blue towers, particularly since the blue towers tend to spread out.
