“That’s understandable for a president who won the White House by winning 97 of the 100 fastest-growing counties in America.”

I remember getting into a conversation with a die-hard urban dweller who believed that the needs of big cities should always take precedent over the needs of rural areas (therefore, the whole electoral college thing should just be abandoned).

Although I disagree COMPLETELY with this assessment, I do find it unsettling to think that inner cities might be abandoned completely by populations and therefore politicians.

But these areas are almost all liberal strongholds, and the failures of that leadership is nowhere more evident than New Orleans.
