AlterNet: "The Presidential Process Hurts Cities"

The AlterNet blog features a video in which Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown argues that the presidential nomination process "disproportionately puts the focus on [rural] areas of the country where the majority of our citizenry do not live".

He also discusses how, to many people, the term "urban" has become code for "poor people and minorities", which has shaped how urban issues are discussed in this country.
