IIRC Loudoun County in Virginia is the wealthiest county in the US and Maricopa in Arizona is second. I used to live in Loudoun and now live in Maricopa. Basically these counties are cherry picking people like me (Richard Florida's creative class). Virginia is becoming a blue state because of the urbanization/surburbanization of Loudoun/Fairfax. It won Webb the Senate and Obama Virginia's electoral college votes. Arizona is probably starting the same process. It suggests that if the Democrats want a permanent majority they should conduct national policies of urbanization. It is interesting the changes in Arizona and Virginia.
