1. With the exception of Philly, notice it's all red state places.
   
And Philly is higher than Detroit on the list? How is that possible?

Just A guess but I seriously doubt that the Bronx is a Republican stronghold.

7. You're right. Thanx for the corrections.
   
Eastern California is like a totally different state from Coastal California--it's basically the color of blood, and the most depressed area of our financially strapped state. Yet these idiots invariably vote against their best interests every election year!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I smell BS! I'd like to see the way they calculated this. Are you tellin' me after all the auto plants shut down in Deee-troit, it isn't numero uno?!

According to Mikey Moore, the place is an economic desert. I figured it should have at lest at least the top 5 counties, or the top 20!
