A Sea Of Red

Interesting map. The most liberal town in VA is Alexandria (no shock there - though I'm sure Charlottesville could give them a run for their money). Most Conservative: Tangier, on an island in the Chesapeake Bay (not Lynchburg).

NC: Most liberal is actually Greensboro, not Asheville like I would've guessed.

And finally, Colorado City is not in or even on the border w/ Colorado. It is located in Arizona close to the border with Utah.

For LU decathlete Brandon Hoskins was from Garden City. Colorado City is known as the polygamy capital of America and Warren Jeffs' hometown. Sarita is a tiny spot along US 77 near Corpus Christi best known as a Border Point checkpoint where massive amounts of drugs are seized practically everyday.

I can't possibly see how Greensboro is the most liberal. I grew up 10 miles from there and worked there until a few years ago. It's not a liberal place like Asheville by any means.

Charlotte or Durham is far more liberal than Greensboro. Also yeah Charlottesville is a tad more liberal than Alexandria.

C-ville is being invaded by wealthy corporate retirees that skew the numbers a shade more to the right than many expect.

From the 00 to 12 presidential elections, Charlottesville skews 46 percent to the Democrats (71.2% to 25.0), while Alexandria is 37 percent (67.6% to 30.4%).

Must be the meal taxes.....

yeah, any liberal town list that doesnt have asheville at the top isnt doing it right.

Man you really are for the Meal's tax Haize;)

Spoke to a group yesterday from NOVA. They were going to bring a concept to downtown. Found out about Meal's Tax and pulled out. Not a big issue for you, but I'm sure there are many others doing the same thing...

Overlay a crime map on top of that thing and it would be interesting to see the results...

Forget all of them, Chapel Hill is the ruler of liberalness in NC and as far as conservative, can the entire eastern region of NC be an option for winner?

I don't know, most natives on the Outter Banks seem more socially liberal and fiscally conservative, similar to attitudes around VA Beach.

I'd argue that western NC outside of Asheville is the most conservative. But, excluding the Outer Banks, eastern NC is too, except for the counties of the Black Belt.

So what you're saying is, urban centers tend to lean left...


Shocker.
