WASHINGTON - Barack Obama's big victory could provide Democrats with a road map for an even bigger electoral majority in the future - something that seemed implausible just four years ago.
Obama won in the suburbs of key states, expanded Democratic majorities in big cities and made inroads into rural areas that had been off-limits to Democrats in recent presidential elections. He also proved that a black presidential candidate could make Democratic gains in some of the whitest counties in the nation - even though in much of the Deep South, his race still appeared to turn voters away.
