You really think that's why? I don't. People in Upstate New York didn't suddenly love New York City when "I never saw police brutality I didn't like" Giuliani was Mayor. Urban-rural conflict has a long history. We can talk about the reasons for it if you like, but don't be simplistic and misleading about it.
