...in San Francisco voted for Romney.

Who are these people?

The very wealthy.

Yes, but probably not exclusively. Just look at the Pac Heights precincts.

Incidentally, does anyone know of SF result maps by precinct? It would be cool to see. A swing and trend from 2008 map would also be awesome!

The northern cluster of >60% precincts is the whitest part of the city (over 80% white), and appears fairly wealthy as well.

That cluster is the wealthiest part of the city. Pacific Heights right near the Presidio and just north of Jackson St (fun fact: Nancy Pelosi lives in this enclave, I've seen her in church). We are talking Hearst family and up type wealth. the real-life plutocrats. Incidentally, that may be my precint since I live on Jackson and vote at University High School. I wonder how far those precincts swung this time...

Anyway, thanks for the map bgwah!

I am not surprised by the stronger prop 8 support (and relatively lower Obama support) in the Outer Richmond and Little Russia. Richmond certainly has a ton of immigrants and while Little Russia is certainly smaller and more diverse than it once was, the area between 27th and 17th avenues continues to house many of the city's Russian immigrants who are of course more Republican and socially conservative.
