As this map from the 2004 elections shows, if the Dems lose even one big city, their goose is cooked.
I'm warming up the oven.

Coming soon to a city near you.

Asheville, NC deserves an honorable mention. Lots of gays and hippies, and just a stone's throw from the Appalachians. Asheville is so jarringly out of sync with the region's prevailing conservative culture that you'd almost guess it was scooped up from somewhere on the west coast and dropped there.
I believe that's the relative vote differentials by counties.
yes, i hear you. but i don't believe crashes in the market affect big cities the same way as suburbs. i own a brownstone in nyc and its going to carry me to the end for its value, into retirement wherever. that's what i was responding to. those of us who own in these expensive places will do well in the end. also i got in back in 92 so i'm all set. unless my house is destroyed entirely of course.
Keep dreaming.
Folks in Boston once thought as you do. Now it's hard to sell a house in Boston, cause the prices keep dropping. And the buyers are patiently waiting.
"10. Seattle, Wash.
Well known for its environmentalist population. Home of Democrat Rep. Jim McDermott (ACU lifetime: 2%; 2005: 0%) who once claimed Saddam Hussein is more credible than President Bush and omitted the words "under God" when leading the Pledge of Allegiance on the House floor. Location of Clinton's 1999 WTO meetings marked by rioters protesting globalism, where more than 500 people were arrested."
This idiot - on a liberal's radio show - also asserted that the terrorist level was raised so that Dimocrats would be too scared to leave the house to vote in the 2004 election. I guess that shows what he thinks of his constituents: scared little babies.
Well the liberals are still working on it - it should make its way up to number 1 in the next decade or so. Seattle used to be a very nice city, but the Dimcrat/Socialist/Commies/Liberals who now rule there have destroyed it. The criminals...
Pretty good list, but no LA? Hmmm.
It's even harder to believe that Austin, TX didn't make it.
Austin is far more reasonable in terms of politics and ideology. At least if you occupy different ends of the spectrum there, you can have a rational conversation. Seattle and Portland 'liberals' are either hardcore Leftists or group-thinkers. Both places are so inbred politically, that they have no conception of ideological diversity. None. And even the reasonable people (under normal circumstances) are so insulated with that culture that a wierd sort of bigotry lingers like miasmic fog throughout that clouds their judgement entirely.
Don't get me wrong, the moonbats exists everywhere. In Austin, however, a liberal is a fairly intelligent American with more alternative sensibilities from that of the so-called 'traditional.' And in that sense it transcends old labels of Conservative and Liberal to actually blur most distinctions on real issues, leaving only a lingering political affiliation.
In Portland and Seattle, 'liberalism' is the default position and Marxism - real live Stalinist/Anarchist collectivism - prevails and dominates. And they are not intelligent for the most part, but brainless punks influenced by shrewd twisted radicals, reinforced by an insulating class of progressive delusional cattle.
If you can imagine what the condition of southern racism was like in say places like Mississippi back in 1868, pretend you are a black man... the liberals would be most whites, and Leftists are the Clan. The atmosphere they have created for themselves is exactly the same here. And President Bush is like Grant to them.
So make a friend with a southern 'liberal' and discover how much you truly have in common as reasonable Americans. Because there are those out here in places that top the list, that have nothing in common with you, and never will again.
This is a great way to describe the atmosphere in Seattle and Portland and very true. I also remembered after my earlier post that eco-terrorism started in Portland and in Olympia Washington by some people who graduated from Evergreen (oh, they'll just love that I've written this at Evergreen, but it is true). People use to brag quite a bit about setting off fires at companies and stuff when I was in college back in 1994.
Notice how liberal cities are the most expensive cities to live in?
Indeed. And they've only become worse since then. And they wonder why we see them as the enemy of Mankind? Theirs is the mentality that gives way to suicide bombing and terrorism. Religious fanatacism is nothing more than the psychopathic devotion to an ideological cause that you value more than life itself. In that regard, what is the difference in vandalizing a neighbor's SUV, firebombing Starbucks, toppling comm. towers... or ramming an airliner into the WTC?
Its merely a matter of time and scale, but the psychology has already been established in these domestic jihadi's.
And even while they vomit their hate publicly on the streets, on blogs, and via email (and I hear it directly, daily), they are oblivious as to what they have become.
If rudabaga owns his brownstone in Manhattan, he has nothing to worry about. Limited supply and endless demand will keep his house nice and high in price.
What you say is probably true. However, if there is a serious attack made on one of our big cities, one with tens of thousands casualties, the endless demand could quickly dry up.
Please Note: In no way am I wishing for such an attack. But I certainly won't rule out the possibility after 9-11.
I wonder how this list corresponds to the Bottom ten for public education? Crime? Poverty? Stuck-on-Stupidity? Drug use? Abortion? Divorce? Out-of-wedlock births?
Oh Please. How is it Ithaca did not make it?
I have to live here and now I won't even get the ever sustaining Freeper sympathy.
As another poster said. Ithica isn't a city.
