The Same Old Thing

From the Christian Science Monitor News...
By examining voting patterns in 237 cities with populations of 100,000 or more, the nonpartisan Bay Area Center for Voting Research determined where each falls on the liberal/ conservative continuum. "The great political divide," director Phil Reiff writes, "is not red vs. blue, North vs. South, coastal vs. interior, or even rich vs. poor - it is ... black vs. white." Result: Detroit, with a majority African-American population, ranks as the most liberal city. Predominantly white Provo, Utah, is the most conservative. The five most liberal and five most conservative US cities, as ranked by the center:

Liberal
1. Detroit
2. Gary, Ind.
3. Berkeley, Calif.
4. Washington
5. Oakland, Calif.

Conservative
1. Provo, Utah
2. Lubbock, Texas
3. Abilene, Texas
4. Hialeah, Fla.
5. Plano, Texas

Disgusting! How many years will it take?
