Following a link today on the Drudge Report, I learned that Detroit was the most liberal city in the nation - according to research compiled by the Bay Area Center for Voting Research in California.

Well, that made me curious. I know that my home county, Broward, is a fairly deep blue county but when I read that Hialeah, Florida was the 4th most conservative town in the nation... I wanted to know more. I found the full list of the 239 cities that they surveyed over at their home page. Below, for your convenience, is a list of the top 50 most conservative valued cities of those 239.
