Minnesota, the state being discussed in the article, hasn't gone red in a presidential election since 1972 - longer than any other state. (Only DC has a longer blue streak.) We were also the first state in the midwest to legalize gay marriage via legislation rather than a court order.
Yes, the rural parts of the state are very conservative. (The district just north of me was Michele Bachmann's.) But this is true nationwide - just look at rural California or Washington.
