I remember reading that Bush got 52% in Dallas. I think Gore won Houston city proper, and I'm sure Gore won San Antonio since it's over 50% Hispanic.

I just realized two more major cities that probably voted for Bush, Omaha and Sioux Falls.

If Sioux Falls counts as a major city, there must be a hundred.

Yes, it's Bush's 2nd best among Counties with over 100,000 voters.

Strange!  I don't see why Montgomery County Texas would be set apart?  Utah is kinda understandable with all the Mormons, but Montgomery?  I'll have to give this one some thought.

Montgomery's Outer Suburban/Exurban Houston isn't it?

(mostly) rich suburbs around a rather conservative city in the Republican candidate's home state. Denton and Collin are in the top five too (Look at page one for the percentages.)

Yes, but so are several other counties surrounding Harris (Houston) County.  Much of Montgomery county is very rural (we live on 7 acres) and "backwards" (but not me Smiley ), but the southern portion of the county has seen explosive growth of "The Woodlands", a master-planned upper-income city of about 80,000.

A master-planned upper-income city? Sounds hellish...
Some of the other counties you're thinking of may have less than 100,000 voters. Those to the South, Fort Bend, Galveston, have largish Black minoriites.

Does anyone know the top 5 or so counties for Gore?

I'm guessing San Francisco was one of them.

If San Francisco was in NYS it would narrowly beat out Queens for Gore's 4th best county. The Bronx, Manhattan, and Brooklyn were much better for Gore.  Those 4 borughs of NY each has 2-4 times the population of SF county. SF county gets housed.

Anyone know anything about Macon County? Why is it so safe for the Dems? Large Black population?

"Gore's best" isn't the same as "Bush's worst". Nader did much better in SF than anywhere in NY.

Not sure why it is this safe. I know it's got a Black majority and Tuskegee Institute.

I know someone in Tuskegee Smiley

Macon has a very large Black majority (about 85% of Macon is black, although Blacks are about 80% of registered voters IIRC) but the North of the county (around Notasulga) actually has a (slim) White majority (Notasulga proper is 66% white though).

Most of Macon is the Black majority area and votes Dem by landslide margins (tho' less than in inner city Ghettos).

What makes Macon ultra-safe (Kerry has a legit shot at cracking 90% there this year) is that *everywhere* votes Democrat (in 2000 Bush didn't even win 66% white Notasulga!)
Much of this is to do with poverty (all of Macon is extremely poor Sad )

Cincinnati is over 40% black, so it'd be tough for a Democrat to lose there. But it is definately not liberal. And the suburbs are as lily-white as it gets and super-Republican. Terrible region.

Gore did win the Kentucky cities of Covington and Newport, which are across from Cincinnati. But look how bad he did in Kenton and Campbell counties.

Even more so than other places, this is an area where central cities are far, far, far more liberal than suburbs.

True... the Cincinnati MSA is one of the most polarised parts of the U.S
