Mount Vernon went for Obama, Gregoire, and Larsen (local Democratic congressman) in 2008. They also elected Democrats to their state senate seat and both state legislature positions. Also, as should be clear from the decision, the city council is not a bunch of right-wingers. Most likely, the mayor got elected as a "stealth candidate" based on his ability to handle local matters as opposed to any national political positions.
So, you think it's a great idea to punish a Democratic town (and one in serious economic trouble right now) because of the actions of one official that the city government as a whole repudiated, and that vast numbers of the local citizens oppose. Brilliant move, brainiac. Next, are you going to urge a boycott of San Francisco in general, and the Castro District in particular, because of Prop 8's passage?
