History and culture play big roles in this, but yes, urban areas are more likely to be "blue" for a variety of reasons.
even in "red states" like Texas there are many large urban areas that vote dem... there's really no such thing as a blue or red state, just shades of purple... can't we all just get along...

you'd be shocked at what you run into in the rural south. I remember going to a friends wedding, and seeing the lousiana creole people. that was freaking crazy. hell, louisiana still has napoleon law.
