Republicans get most of their CONGRESSIONAL power from rural areas, but Republicans count on most of their winning MARGINS coming from highly populated suburban counties in most states. For example, it's kind of irrelevant that rural KS is ultra-Republican, because if the KC suburbs weren't highly Republican, it wouldn't matter. This is especially true in states like WI, MN and NH where the main suburban areas usually vote to the right of the rural areas. If you're unappealing to those voters - the most likely to vote for a generic R AND in populous areas - kiss those states goodbye.
