Most liberal and most conservative city in each state

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

Not exactly laugh out loud funny, but I was amused, at, for example: Tennessee. Those cities couldn't be further away from each other and still be in the same state. I wonder how much geography plays a roll in this. Another example if Florida (the more north you go in the state, the more southern the state becomes)

Anywho:

Geography definitely plays a role in Arizona. The southern third of the state is fairly liberal, probably owing to the large immigrant population, though it's more what I would call left-libertarian than West Coast/Chicago/New York left-totalitarian, and very Catholic.

In Oregon, if it's outside the Willamette valley, every other city is a close second. Except Ashland, it's like an island in the south.

I wish it would tell the rough estimation of the split for the cities.

Shit must get real in Kansas.

Interesting. I live in Minneapolis, but I've never even heard of Prinsburg.

For real fun, compare the population.

Oregon is a good example. Biggest city in the state. 600k population, and probably double that if you include the immediate suburbs.
Drewsey? Population 18 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drewsey,_Oregon).

Oh. Bah. 18 people does not a city make. I thought they used some kinda reasonable standard for what a city is an is not.

A cathedral, a university, or a charter: the traditional standards for a city, rather than a town.
