This last election there was talk of the urban-rural divide, the liberal-conservative gap, with the exurbs in the middle. The swing voters live there, the question is are they more rural or urban? In 2004 they went Bush. In 2008 they flipped to The One.
So we are left with the question--is this still a center-right country with the Go West Young Man American Dream? It remains to be seen, but David Brooks, recently fallen out of love with The One, gives us some stats.
It's still a machine and a garden. And give me a view.
