I was just watching MSNBC and their electoral analyst pointing to some potential factors allowing for Obama to be competitive in “red” states, and I could not help but think of your article in the Globe and Mail published in March, ‘Obama and the Class Question,’ which demonstrated potential correlation to the Creative Class and support for Obama.

Tonight, the analyst pointed to states with the highest levels of educated residents, the least amount of seniors, highest average income (perhaps a deceptive number), and what he called “transient” voters, or those who have moved from one state to places like Colorado and Virginia. They then went on to talk about how in “rust belt” states parents stay, but their children leave…

Hmmm…where have I heard much of this before?

Chris Matthews then said this was a “profound” way to view not only this election but future elections.

I suppose you may just have to take that as an indirect compliment.
