The blue swaths on the election map? Higher concentrations of people who have completed higher education. Make what assumptions you will.
Dunno exactly how it is in America, but over here both people with university education AND people with only lower education vote above-proportionally leftwing - while its the people in between, who did vocational training and so on, who tend to vote more rightwing.
Course, there's clear extremes - a low-education/high-income voter is most likely quite far to the right, while high-education/low-income pretty much equates to a green left or socialist party voter ;-).
But low education / low income means usually Labour, also left-wing, while like Adrian said, the university-educated people who went to earn money in the market sector are often right-wing. So here, at least, your blue/red analysis wouldnt apply - and to be honest I suspect it doesnt really work all quite like
that in the US, either.
Lucky thing, too - cause the more the Dems hole themselves up in the "Starbucks ghetto", the less chance they'll ever have of gaining back the WH - not to mention that it would be the betrayal of a long tradition of working class Progressive movements, trade unions, etc.
