Political Breakdown of Colorado and Alabama, Georgia

[phk]

Can anyone provide me with a detailed political Breakdown of Colorado and Alabama, Georgia.

Alabama:

Gulf Coast- Fairly wealthy, one of the "whitest" parts of Alabama. Highly Republican, it's very economically conservative, and a bit more moderate socially.

Hill Country- Populist, heavily white, and rural. This section of north Alabama is the only part of the state with substantial white Democratic support. It is economically quite liberal, but extremely conservative on cultural matters.

Black Belt- Rural, heavily black former plantation counties reaching across south-central Alabama. This area is extremely poor, and extremely Democratic. Populist, economically very liberal, and socially conservative.

Birmingham-Heavily black, Birmingham's politics are similar to those of the Black Belt.

Birmingham suburbs- Whitest part of Alabama, and very wealthy. Extremely Republican, and extremely conservative in all aspects. This area is among the most Republican in the nation.

Birmingham-Heavily black, Birmingham's politics are similar to those of the Black Belt.

Slightly different actually: Birmingham is an old industry city which had it's own coalfield (and black miners who used to work in near slave-like conditions)... used to be called the "Pittsburgh of the South".
Because of that, politics there tends to be more militant than in the rural black areas.

Good summary, BTW :-)
