"What do all these cities have in common? No Republican mayors. 13 Democrats, 1 Green Party and 1 Independent.

"What do most of them have in common? Democrats have controlled them for all or most of the last 50 years.

"I eyeballed the rest of the list. If you go down to number 33, I'm guessing there are no more than five current or recent Republican mayors.

"If you look at the areas with the least crime, you see tons of Texas cities and all the conservative parts of California and New York.

"Any lessons to be learned here? Of course not. These places have all had 50+ years to learn the lessons. They are obviously not capable of doing so. Who says we don't get the government we deserve?"

Comment from Midwest Voting Mom; How many of these big cities are blue on the U.S. map of how counties voted the 2008 election? These cities have larger populations than the rural areas of their states. So they decided the election. That doesn't mean that they're very bright.
