Suburban Sweep

USA Today has a story today on the big gains Dems made in the suburbs this year. One need go no further than Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and even Arizona to see the outcome. In inner-ring suburbs, Dems got 60% of the vote, up from 53% in 2002. They won 55%/45% in the next ring of suburbs and cut Republican leads in the growing "exurbs." Here's the study from Virginia Tech's Metropolitan Institute that crunches the numbers. Analysis to come soon.
