I heard on the radio from a resident in the know that Charlottesville is one of the most[sic] leftist cities in the[sic] Virginia.

For the same reason (in this case UVA), Charlottesville is the Austin, Texas of Virginia.

That's pretty bad. But I'll question the idea that the presence of a public university in a city as being a controlling influence. A lot of college towns haven't sunk to the degree of liberal madness that others have. Bryan/College Station is a big one. Lubbock is too.
