I think it might be a testament to the idea that cities are hubs of innovation ... or at least progress. It's still populism, but perhaps not driven by resentment and being left behind, maybe more driven by what we _want_ to achieve.
The intereresting topic of Texas came up at the election party last night. Texas, by all rights should be blue based on the large populations in Houston, DFW, Austin, etc. I haven't (but might) try to run the numbers and compare to places like PA or MI. What leads urban voters toward progressivism and rural voters toward regressivism? Is that even a coherent question? Why would Texas urbanites lean more Republican than Californian urbanites?
