The Three Geographies Of Voting

Joel Kotin looks at voting patterns in rural,suburban,and cities.Kotin on Obama:
Senator Obama illustrates some of the most attractive parts of urbanism such as ethnic diversity, sophistication and a well-articulated commitment to social justice. He also epitomizes some the most turpitudinous, reflected by his ties to the sleazy Chicago machine and links to rent-seeking real estate interests who increasingly, along with public employee unions, dominate urban politics.
Another great one by Joel Kotkin,an article well worth your time.
