Isn't this the downside of your heartland strategy? Places like Elko have the reputation of being echt American, but in fact they're not very representative of our population. The working classes of LA, Chicago, and New York are less Republican and a lot more numerous. When your resources are limited, why focus on organizing people who are so at odds with the righteous truth (I mean that more in political terms than union terms)?
