Bush's showing:

Albert Lea: 40.9%
Seattle: 17.9%

Of course, I'm sure that's negated by something like strip clubs, or alcohol laws, or something which most people consider non-political.  One day, BRTD will realize that Minneapolis is just like a colder, smaller, more Republican, worse Seattle, and Minnesota as a whole, the same to Washington.  Tongue

Minneapolis is way cheaper too, which makes up for the cold, hell I'd take that over rain.

And more Republican? You are really splitting at hairs here. The Republican Party is completely meaningless in Minneapolis, they hold absolutely no influence whatsoever and have absolutely no chance of winning any elections no matter how minor. Hell the Green Party has had more electoral success in Minneapolis than the GOP.

Yes, but you run into more Republicans -- especially since your suburbs are Republican and ours aren't.  Wink

And the GOP doesn't exist in Seattle either, haha.  In fact, their state legislative races literally come down to who's gayer (43rd), or who's more angry at The Man/Republicans/Democrats who aren't liberal enough (the other LD's).  In fact, it was a massive, nearly campaign-ending scandal that one city council candidate was a former, repentant Republican.  It was basically the opposition's entire campaign.

As for the rain thing...what can I say?  I like a good windstorm.  The drizzle and the overcast, I could leave.  But it's a lot better than four months where I barely want to leave the house.

Where did you get those numbers from?

The Minnesota numbers come with an Atlas subscription.

It also has Washington precinct data.  You could theoretically add up all of the "Seattle xx" precincts in Excel, using the search feature.  I have a Washington precinct spreadsheet on my computer that adds up the municipalities automatically, though.

You can't just say "well, just cut off hte conservative part of the state and we're very liberal"

If you can do that, then Minnesota is actually shaped like a donut and that middle part where those crazy German Catholics live with their funny last names and inbred relatives... well, they don't count.

We'd still win on all of those counts Tongue  A lot of cutting would be required.
