Meckler is a known liberal
She leaves out the fact that in many cities its due to racial demographics or the divide is narrow...say 55/45
She is basically just looking at big coastal cities and a couple of Yankee towns
Many sunbelt cities if blacks or Latinos not figured would be fairly conservative
Its not as simple as rural versus city....and what about suburbs.... most are GOP
Most suburbs surrounding 8 of the 10 largest cities are not Republican either, unfortunately.
Why do you think we got the Heck out of Memphis/Shelby County. DEM controlled.
Just moved 22 miles into Tipton county, car ins dropped 40%. We are in the process of selling the other house. Worth much more than we will get out of it, even in a decent neighborhood were there are semi professionals or retired, it is to CLOSE to FRAISER a big crime area. Memphis City schools SUCK!
We have both black and white neighbors, every one is friendly out this way, and it is Conservative, people help each other.
You forgot the factor if they are all black controlled they usually end up with corrupt politicians that rob the small cities blind. Ditto goes for the Latinos.
We get the AR and MS news besides the Memphis news. All those small black control towns are in hot water for political criminals theft of tax funds.
