12 Allentown Pennsylvania -- Well, that's very interesting. Allentown has a large Hispanic population which has largely taken over the "central city", such as it is. I suppose a poll like this all depends on who you ask.

The whole Lehigh Valley is very Democrat. I won't say Liberal in the sense of Cambridge or Berkeley, but they vote reliably Democrat on most things. I live and work in the LV, and while I know conservatives, everyone I work with is Democrat. Lots of Italians here, almost always Democrat no matter what, and lots of old union families (Beth. Steel leftovers).

I mean, to say that Allentown, PA is more conservative than, say, Tulsa, OK, is nuts.

It’s kind of ironic that those die-hard Dems in the Lehigh Valley are exactly the folks Obama was dissing to the San Francisco crowd. The Dems I know in Allentown are big on keeping their guns, clinging to their God and religion. But you can bet your bottom dollar they voted for BHO.
