My  picks:

Liberal: San Francisco, Seattle, Boston
Conservative: Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, Jacksonville
Libertarian: Seattle, San Jose, Tucson
Communitarian: Detroit, El Paso - not sure for third

It's worth noting that the city of Jacksonville is as big as the entire county of Duval.

Boston is not the liberal.  You ever see the wars that broke out up there over busing?

No.  What happened?

I looked for the photo in question.  Unfortunatly, I must be an idiot, cause I can't find the thing.  I have seen it before, too.

Edit:

Here we go




BTW... for some reason, the only place I could find this photo was on the MySpace of some Angela Davis wannabe.

Yes, I did find it amusing someone who listed Boston as liberal was telling me I had no clue about my picks.

Does anyone actually believe South Boston (which for some reason is actually located north of most of the city) is liberal?

Boston =/= Cambridge

It is called South Boston because, back before most of the land fill that became the city of Boston was filled in, it was south of most of the city.

Not only that, some areas to the south of the original city were annexed, such as Hyde Park.
