Ok, no offense to this, but since you said that, generally rural america (which we shall generalize as Bush America) is for personal responsibility/daily activism and Kerry America waits for someone else to take care of it.... I think this needs said.
My simplist view? Bush america likes to say it is rugged individualists, but there is an almost perfect blue/red divide between state losers and state winners. Red states take in more tax dollars than they give out and vice versa.
It seems that Red America is Blue America's dependent.
Red America may do some little things day to day that make them feel like they are problem solvers, but it is the hard work of Blue America, both monetarially and in pushing for government running programs, that is keeping everything moving.
