More on the Rural Collapse of the GOP

The poll referenced down column has a great deal of detail to digest, but if you're interested in chewing on it further, The Political Junkies offer "a glimpse" at some of the numbers which show that Heath Shuler in the NC-11 is going to be very difficult to bump off in his first reelection campaign (even considering that he's been extra busy alienating his progressive Dem base in Buncombe County).

What's especially noteworthy is the actual polling that was done in the NC-11 to test the depth of the rural switch-over to the Democrats. The conclusion? "It appears it will be a severe challenge for Republicans to reclaim these seats."
