The White House has added "rural issues" and "Native American issues" to a list of nearly a score of items administration officials will talk about (via Twitter) in the days after the President's State of the Union Address. Earlier Monday, these were not part of the White House schedule.

Some news reports say Newt Gingrich carried South Carolina by winning big in rural counties. In fact, the former House Speaker won by about the same margin in rural, urban and exurban counties. He did best in exurban South Carolina.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney won all across New Hampshire Tuesday, but he did particularly well in urban counties. Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman did better in rural counties than in urban ones.
