Absolutely. Most of us would never see the candidates or hear anything about their plans that pertain to us. The only places anyone would campaign are the ten biggest cities.
LOL. That would be such a terrible campaign strategy even FDR wouldn't win with it in 1932. Combine the top fifty metropolitan areas in the country and you still don't even have half of the population.
(For the record, MSA #50 is Rochester, NY.)
Right, but you can swing the highest amount. Obviously no one is going to lose the entire rural vote for not visiting. Look at the Republicans in every election. McCain didn't campaign hardcore in Utah, but won it big time. If he wanted to swing the popular vote, he would head to the highest concentration of voters. It's not a terrible strategy at all, it's common sense.
No actually you can't. McCain could've spent the entire election campaigning in New York City and nowhere else, and he still wouldn't have broken 30%. It would make way more sense for him to campaign in rural areas than places like NYC and Chicago.
