regions that vote Dem for Prez & Congress, but have more Repubs and vice versa

[Smash255]

Any regions which have more of one party in regristration, but tends to vote more for the party with the lower voter regerstration?/

Long Island is one of those.  Republicans have a slight voter regristartion edge over Dems, but voting in this area has gone more & more to the left.  4 of the 5 Congressional districts on Long Island are Democrat, both nassau and Suffolk County excecutives are Democrat and both counties went to the Dems by double digits in both 1996 and 2000.  Any other areas similar to this?  

The reason Long Island is this way is partly to do Independent voters & even republican voters to an extent.  Independent voters here tend to vote heavily Democratic, the Republicans in the region tend to be more along the lines of moderate or even liberal Republicans rather than Conservatives and are more prone to cross-over than Reps in other parts of the country.  Their are relativley few Conservative Dems in the area so not that many Dems will cross-over the other way unless its a liberal Republican (Guliani, Pataki).

  In the various towns on Long Island their tends to be more Republicans as Mayors and what not, but as far as the bigger Long Island races and the Presidential Race Long Island definatley leans Democratic even though the Republicans have a slight regristartion edge.
