2010 Election, Cities Versus The Rest of the Country

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this election is the patently obvious Cities versus the rest of the country outcome. Look at the 2010 election Red/Blue map. Don't underestimate the decades long development of the entitlement constituency among the mass population of the urban areas by the professional politicians. In other words, political and constitutional philosophy means little to the entitlement electorate and the historical schism between the Cities and the rest of the country is now fully realized within the body politic. This is the same schism that brought Rome to it's demise along with many other civilizations throughout history. The Tea Party movement and other political movements must understand this city/country schism in order to be effective in achieving political power.
