They didn't engage in as much inbreeding and therefore have less defective genes.
ROMNEY-CLINTON VOTERS ARE AWESOME AMAZING COSMOPOLITAN PEOPLE WHO ARE 
NICE AND JUST WANT A REASONABLE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT DOESN'T STAND FOR ANY ECONOMIC POLICY AMIRITE!?!?!
Pursuing Romney-Clinton voters means abandoning progressive economic policy.
LOL, "coastal elites" refers to DC lobbyists, media personalities in the Beltway and NYC, etc .... not a family making $400k per year in Westchester. That should be quite obvious.
Maybe in suburban Chicago, but I'd be skeptical as to the veracity of your claim in the rural midwest and plains.
I live in Iowa and am from Peoria. I haven't ever lived in these super wealthy suburbs. I'm just making the observation that I think a lot of people on the coasts comically overrate how much anyone (at least in the Midwest) looks at them with envy, intimidation or even much respect at all. A lot of people - rightly or wrongly - see them as dirty cesspools full of brash, unsophisticated people lacking in manners on the East Coast and vapid, hippie weirdos on the West Coast. Do I think those things? No, as I have met many kind people from both. Is the joke on the Midwesterners who think that? Maybe. But no one I know in *The Heartland* or *Middle America* really concerns themselves much with the activities of people on the coasts, and they CERTAINLY don't think of them as "elite."
Ah, I misunderstood you, then. Elite is definitely deserving of the scare quotes, but agreed.
