Washington DC, Second Most Liberal City in the US

While most of us know that San Francisco, home to Nancy Pelosi, is the most liberal city in the nation, but who would have guessed that Washington DC is number two, ahead of Boston, Seattle, and Portland?  That’s what Chris Warshaw of MIT and Chris Tausanovitch from the University of California found when they analyzed seven large studies.  On the other end of the scale, Mesa AZ is the most conservative city in the country followed by Oklahoma City OK, Virginia Beach VA, and Colorado Springs CO.
