Largest city to vote for Bush?

I'd bet it's Jacksonville. Anyone think it's anything else?

I'm sure Kerry won Houston and Dallas proper, even if fairly narrowly.

There is no way Tampa proper voted for Bush. The 11th district (Jim Davis' old seat) is mostly based around the city and voted 58% for Kerry.

75%? Hah. Dallas is about 35% white after all.

Allentown voted 58% for Gore. I doubt there was that big of a swing in 2004, which should stand that Kerry won it too.

I'm kind of surprised Indianapolis was so close. When I was there it seemed like a typical urban area and probably saw about 10 white people who weren't either at the hostel I was staying at or there for the fest. I guess I must've been deep in "the hood", and there's plenty of other areas not like that at all. I did see a few suburban-esque neighborhoods though, but what's kind of surprising is those and the urban areas seem to be spread out all over, rather than just having one large spot of urbanity and the rest being suburban.

Yeah, I didn't visit those areas, I mostly stayed in northeast Indianapolis. The crazy thing though is with those numbers, Indianapolis whites had to had voted Bush about 2:1, and that's considering the city no doubt has some majority-white socially liberal pockets (almost all major cities do, even in the south). But considering how racially segregated the city is and how uber-GOP the suburban counties are it'd make sense. Still with those type of numbers Bush would've had to win even whites in urban parts, which seems very odd considering what those areas are like. I wish I could get precinct results to see how northeast Indianapolis voted.

I should note, I was in NE Indianapolis but still within the I-74 loop. I suspect outside the loop it's far more suburban and Republican.

I wonder how much the original city voted and its racial demographic.

I'd guess it's similar to the IN -7 district, which voted 58% for Kerry.

In the suburban wingnut counties maybe, but not in Marion County.

It's simple math with the demographics. Mind you though that the outer parts of Marion county are basically the same as the uber-GOP suburban counties, so if Bush is winning 75% of whites in those areas, he clearly isn't getting the 2:1 numbers in the urban part of Indianapolis.
