Most live outside Sarah's "small town" "real" America.

It's disturbing to learn that over 80% of Americans live outside what Sarah Palin describes as the "real America", the "patriotic" America: "small town America".
According to the 2000 Census, over 80% of Americans live in metropolitan areas. That includes 73% of Americans living in metropolitan areas of over 250,000 people and 57% in metropolitan areas of over 1 million people.
That's a lot of people who don't fit Sara Palin's target audience of small town America. It seems strange that most Americans are not "real Americans."
On the other hand, that suggests a lot of people may not vote for her.
