Title: Will Minnesota have any >90% anti-gay marriage amendment ban precincts? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on October 01, 2012, 11:59:02 AM Here's a strong possibility (or whatever precinct now most closely resembles it):
Minneapolis W-10 P-1 Obama 88.4% McCain 8.8% 84.4% White VAP The white vote where I'm at about a half mile east will be well over 90% against most likely, but at only 56% white VAP we obviously won't do it. I'm hoping for >80% No though. Speaking of which was the most anti-Prop 8 precinct in California? I'd assume San Francisco must've had some that were virtually unanimously against.

But I assume, like every city, it has the gay neighborhood, where even the Republican straights are "metro" and rather appalled by the socons. I'd be very surprised if there weren't one.

Actually the Twin Cities don't really have a specific "gay neighborhood", the gays are just numerous and spread out. Though the said precinct is above is certainly in a heavily gay concentration. That also ties into my theory that Obama did win white evangelicals in Minneapolis, because if you live in any heavily white neighborhood in Minneapolis you obviously don't have much of a problem with gays. I'm quite interested in those downtown precincts that typically are about 25% Republican and where basically no one lives except latte liberals and rich Republicans (well and homeless I guess.) I'm betting "No" is going to far outrun Obama in those places. |
