I think that he was referring to the suburbs. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that there are large quantities of people currently living in rural areas (compared to the amount of people that are living in urban areas).

I think there are a couple of factors at play here:
* People are less likely to convert from conservative -> liberal if they live only around like-minded people.
* Cities 'in general' tend to be more liberal than rural/suburban areas.
You're right that it's not a 1:1 conversion, though. Only a percentage of people will change their views.
