Worst election analysis ever

[Husker]

Actually, I know a fair number of people from small towns who found Palin quite insulting. Navarette makes a good point that there is a nostalgia with small town America and in some cases that nostalgia is proven true. However, many rural areas and small towns ( The "Real America") are economically depressed with a severe brain drain effect. I know many people from rural Nebraska who would love to go back to their hometown and raise their kids but there is nothing substantial for them in those small towns anymore. The sad thing is rural Nebraska is probably better off than most rural areas in the U.S.

It is ironic that the parts of the country that are hurting the most are the parts of the country that continue to vote for a party that seems to suppress any real help. Then again, I could argue that the democratic party hasn't fared better in these areas because they have essentially acted like these aforementioned areas don't even exist. Believe me, it's no coincidence that Obama won an EV in Nebraska as he was the first democratic candidate to campaign here since the 60's.
