Most Liberal...Most Conservative Cities in the US
Posted: Aug 12th 2005, 10:37 pm
Hey all,
A bit of a fun thread. Study was released today listing the most politically liberal cities in the US and conversely the most conservative cities. Apparently this was based on voting patterns.
See:
http://www.votingresearch.org/
See if your city ranks.
Speaking of ranking. Cincinnati is the 56th most liberal city in the country? Race riots and police officers with unlimited power and only 56th?
I am shocked and appalled really. Would have thought closer to 237 easy.
On the other hand the County of Santa Cruz (which is not a city I realize) went 97% for Kerry. No listing for Santa Cruz.
Here is some amusing local reaction to this list:
(From the Houston Chronicle)
"Dallas more liberal than Austin? That's weird."

and from Seattle Post Intelligencer
"Where have all the Lefties gone?"

So what do you think? Where they accurate for your city?
