5. Just like all states, rural areas are red, suburbs areas are mostly red, and urban areas are blue.

There is a possibility of getting some suburbanites to go from voting GOP to dem but rural areas have been fed Rush Limbaugh for decades. Getting people to vote in blue and purple areas is key. I'm not saying to give up on rural areas, but it is going to take a long time to get rural areas to realize that the Democratic party cares about their problems.
I don't think a lot of dems realize that people living in rural areas feel that they don't see what they are getting with their tax dollars and that the dems only seem to care about urban areas. They feel all the money goes to the cities, and they don't feel any common connection to urban areas.
