From the Christian Science Monitor's daily email:
They're political opposites: Provo, Utah, and Detroit
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
