See Purple America. See also a map of Bush's surburban support. Looks like Texas and New Mexico have the only urban counties to go for Bush.

Oops.
Talk about successful get-out-the-vote campaigns! What a triumph for democracy in Fairview Park, twelve miles west of downtown Cleveland. Only 13,342 registered voters there, but they cast 18,472 votes
Red State Talking Points
1) Do you realize that Republicans have controlled the White House for 24 of the last 36 years and have made the lion's share of judicial appointments? If you don't like our federal judges and Supreme Court justices, aren't Republicans to blame for that?
2) If Republicans love you so much, why are they so ashamed of you? Why do they give their convention speaking slots to Schwarzenegger, McCain and Giuliani? When they do put a red stater on the stage, he's a Democrat (Zell Miller.) The last time a social conservative got to speak in prime time (Pat Buchanan) Republicans blamed him for losing the election for them.
3) If conservatives really wanted to clean up Hollywood, why do they love Fox so much? Do conservatives like the filth Fox TV puts on the air night after night? Are conservatives okay with calling a show "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" and promoting it while children are watching ballgames? Do you think shows like "My Big Fat Fiance" promote the institution of marriage?
4) If the White House was sincere about gay marriage, abortion, etc., why didn't they run television advertisements about those issues? Why did President Bush go out of his way to support civil unions with weeks to go in the election?
My point is this: yes, Democrats don't agree with social conservatives on a lot of issues. But at least we're honest with you.
Ignorance might have played as big a role in the election's outcome as values.
Voting Without the Facts. See also the education gap survey pdf. Bush swayed the dumbies.
Or did he... Bush's "incredible" vote tallies.
