What would it take for Washington DC to vote Republican?

[Jacobtm]

The more dysfunctional a city's population is, the more heavily Democratic it will vote.

The more bigoted and racist an area is, the more likely it will vote Republican. Also, the least educated states are all Republican.

Really?  Apparently, you are not living in the real world.  There is just as much bigotry in liberal northeastern states as in the south.  New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts all have virtually complete separation of the races, and hostility where they actually meet.  If you can't see that, you are really kidding yourself.  Latte liberals who wax poetically about tolerance and diversity, while living miles away from the nearest non-white person, are in practice just as bigoted as those who are more honest about their views.

Have you ever been to New York City AT ALL? There is no way to be anywhere that city while being "miles away from the nearest non-white person"; you can't even find a place where you're blocks away from the nearest non-white person. The places in NY where you're miles away from non-white people are upstate where it might as well be the south, if it weren't for the snow.

I live in Westchester County, in the Town of Greenburgh. It's a suburb of NYC, and one of the richer and more Liberal/Democratic places in the country. At the 2000 census, the Town of Greenburgh was 72% white, 13% Black, 8% Asian, 9% Latino and 6% other races/mixed races. Personally, I've got a bit of Native American in me.

My relatives live in Greenburgh, in the village of Irvington.

No sh**t? I do too, and so does Defarge.

Who're your relatives?
