Seeing as how there are a lot of "most conservative" and "most liberal" threads, I thought I'd start this one. The general idea is that suburbs are conservative, but which cities have the most liberal suburbs? I say cities because I'm not just interested in one city.

NY maybe with the immediate suburbs.  Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester and Rockland all went to Gore by double digits in 2000

Since I don't know how the suburbs of every city have voted, I'll just say San Francisco.

Hayward is truly fascist.

That's it, I'm going to post the pumpkin picture again:



You call every tree and rock a fascist, yet you yourself advocate silencing those that disagree with you and want the government to physically force them to stop voting.  This would amount to about 50% of the population.

San Francisco and Boston have by far the most liberal suburbs.

Most Northeastern cities have liberal to moderate suburbs.

The cities with the most conservative suburbs are Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, and Cincinnati.

I think Nashville and Baltimore are contenders in that regard.

well yes, but he also did in NJ which is definately a liberal state now, and that was mainly because of the Willy Horton crap anyway. Without that Dukakis would've won Maryland.

He probably would have won Maryland. He came within a whisker in Pennsylvania.

Isn't Hayward where the Religious Right gained control of the school system and refused to let Muhammad Ali speak to the students because he is a Muslim?

Suburbs nationwide aren't conservative, at least not in how they vote. They used to be Republican but now split about evenly nationally.

I'd say suburbs tend to be somewhat libertarian (conservative on economics, liberal on social issues). Although that's obviously a generalization, but that seems to be true at least in places like Detroit...Oakland County is the 3rd richest in America in per capita income, yet voted for Gore. It's very conservative on economics but very liberal on social issues.

Living in NYC's suburbs I must say that while we're generally Democratic, we definitely aren't the most liberal suburb in the nation.  For example, my district has a Republican State Senator while Democrats outnumber Republicans here 2 to 1.

ha.  suburbanites libertarians?  hardly.  they love for the local governments to use zoning to keep minorities out of the neighborhoods and out of their children's schools.

Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City and Grand Rapids have the most Republican suburbs. At least that's where Bush's strongest counties of over 100,000 votes cast were.

Eh... what suburbs are those?

All the Pittsburgh suburbs I know of are deep red conservative... except for maybe Elizabeth or McKeesport, if that counts... They have issues anyway.
