[ForgoTheConsequence]

1. No way Des Moines is more liberal than Iowa City.

And there is no way Wichita is more liberal than Lawrence.

[Delmette]

2. Hammond MT??

This is not a city. Hammond is an unincorporated community, population 157. The entire county is listed at 1,174.

Try again.

[awoke_in_2003]

18. And Sarita, TX

only has 238. They should have some limit on what is deemed a city.

[Delmette]

20. We aren't the only ones to notice.

LOL, what were they thinking?

[panader0]

22. And Hayden, Arizona? With about 890 souls?

[Delmette]

23. WTF

Any clues about their criteria?

[Runningdawg]

3. LOL Carrier OK?

Its a wide spot between wheat fields and pig farms. Population 89.

[herding cats]

4. This is silly. For example: Cope, CO has a population of 139 people.

Their metrics are pretty much lazy and useless.

[seabeyond]

17. And Chromo Colorado does not even register with population. I googled mapped

and could even find where people live. This is really silly.

5. What was the criteria? For instance, where is Asheville NC?

Where is Birmingham, AL? The city proper is pretty blue, while the surrounding municipalities are red. However, they're all clumped into the SMSA. Our congress woman is Dem, as are our city gov't officials.

And the nickname for Asheville, NC is "San Francisco of the South."

ETA: New Orleans?

[MrScorpio]

6. At least they got Jackson, MS correct

One of my late distant cousins was the mayor there not too long ago.

[Warpy]

7. They should have said "incorporated towns"

because I've been to a lot of these places and too many of them have one stop light. If that.

[sakabatou]

8. I know the Valley is more conservative than the CA coast

[NightWatcher]

9. Sarita Texas more liberal than I dunno AUSTIN?

There's nothing in Sarita except a BorderPatrol checkpoint.

[2naSalit]

10. Ft Washakie is

the capitol, if you will, of the Shoshoni's Wind River Indian Reservation... but they are pretty progressive.

And Hammond, MT... as noted above, I tend to agree.

[sweetloukillbot]

11. Hayden AZ? Never heard of it...

Looked it up, it's pop. 600, an old mining town in the middle of nowhere. Tucson, Flagstaff, Bisbee and Jerome are almost certainly more liberal.

[LongtimeAZDem]

16. I used to go out to that area a lot with my telescope, as there's nothing there so it's dark (nt)

[Ex Lurker]

12. Regarding Louisiana

Bentley is a post office and a general store. That's literally all there is to it. Pointe a la Hache is for all practical purposes a ghost town, with a few dozen people at most living there. I don't know where they are coming up with the data for this survey.

13. Gary , IN

Gary is not a socially liberal city at all. Highly democratic, but not liberal one bit. Madison has become the bastion of liberalism in the Midwest. Ann Arbor still is to a point, but corporations have ruined it. Minneapolis is somewhat liberal. And Chicago has small pockets of liberalism.

[bigwillq]

14. New Haven!

[FLPanhandle]

15. Baker, FL is a city? It's not even worthy of being called a town.

It's a tiny collection of buildings at a intersection of two small backroad highways.

[kpete]

19. Hume, California?

92 people = population

where conservatives obviously go and hide in my state


peace,

[Aristus]

21. Addy, Washington is another 'unincorporated community'.

Out in Spokanistan; that figures...
