I was looking for a nice simple reference for the Kerry/urban link and only found this. Assuming this gentleman has his facts right the cities were expected to go for Kerry but in fact went for Bush, perhaps because suburbs were counted as urban, perhaps for more sinister reasons. I personally believe, based on what I saw here, that there was massive fraud in this election, but that is not my point in posting this, just that this analysis, which seems pretty detailed and researched, says that the cities did not go Kerry.
