LOL Twin Cities are not 1. We're barely a 2 if even that.

OK after having read the last post I suppose we might qualify for 2 (I was going to argue that we don't have many particularly affluent uber-Dem areas and there is a strong income/voting correlation), but 1 would mean we have next to no "ghetto Democrats". What do you think Keith Ellison's old State House seat is like?

Also a good chunk of the white Democrats in most of St. Paul and some parts of Minneapolis (especially Nordeast), are just working class people who aren't particularly socially conservative, they aren't "bohemians" or "alternative" by any means just because they don't feel threatened by gays getting married or consider it a major crisis that some people on their block like to get stoned in their basement.

It's not like the whites in SF who vote for Democrats are wealthy either. Meh.

Not all of them maybe, but there is certainly is no shortage of super-wealthy white liberals in San Francisco. Kind of like Manhattan, it might be that all the few people who DO vote Republican are quite wealthy, but that doesn't mean that all wealthy folks are Republican.
