摘要

Drive westwards on Virginia's Route 7 out of Washington, dc, and you will see acres of brand-new gated communities spreading towards the rolling hills of horse country. Eastern Loudoun is about a 40-minute trip from the capital and the county's population is one of the fastest-growing in America. Its vast expanses are relentlessly being tamed and subdivided into plots for family homes, as couples seek inexpensive property and good schools near the city. And it is on this urban fringe, and others like it, that the presidential election may hinge.rnAmerica's suburbs used to be bastions of Republicanism. No longer. Robert Lang of the Brookings Institution, a think-tank, examined the voting behaviour of metropolitan counties and found that close-in suburbs now reliably vote for Democrats. That should be expected: as they become more urban, their residents care more about public transport, schools and other government-sponsored activities-and they attract more city types, often of a liberal bent, from the urban centres.
