I was thinking more of Blackburg Virgina, home of Virgina Tech, just as an example.

Here is a college town, on the outskirts of the Appliacian Mountains.
While visiting there 12 years ago, they talked of the cultural divide. Stories of long bearded hill folk occasionaly making their way on to campus like ice-age era visitors comfounded by modern man and machines.
I just wonder what the voting map of that area looked like.
