Did Bush get his increased margin from Bush counties or Gore counties?

Bush % by size of community, CNN Exit poll:

Big Cities: 39% (+13)
Smaller Cities: 49% (+9)
Suburbs: 52% (+3)
Small Towns: 50% (-9)
Rural: 59% (-)

Now that I look at it, Bush BADLY underperformed in Phila.

In fact it was a total disaster for him. Here's the change in urban areas from the CNN exit poll. The urban/rural results might come as quite a shock:

Bush Percentage (Change over 2000)
Urban 45% (+10)
Suburban 52% (+3)
Rural 57% -2

I think we see in this one of the reasons Kerry gave up so quickly.  Had Kerry challenged Ohio, Bush would have gone after PA (as well as WI).  There are all sorts of fishy things going on in Philly.  And in Milwaukee, for that matter.

Fishy stuff happend in every state. Sad but certainly true.
