In 59 Philadelphia voting divisions, Mitt Romney got zero votes



It's one thing for a Democratic presidential candidate to dominate a Democratic city like Philadelphia, but check out this head-spinning figure: In 59 voting divisions in the city, Mitt Romney received not one vote. Zero. Zilch.

These are the kind of numbers that send Republicans into paroxysms of voter-fraud angst, but such results may not be so startling after all.

"We have always had these dense urban corridors that are extremely Democratic," said Jonathan Rodden, a political science professor at Stanford University. "It's kind of an urban fact, and you are looking at the extreme end of it in Philadelphia."

Most big cities are politically homogeneous, with 75 percent to 80 percent of voters identifying as Democrats.

(what we used to call "holy roller&quot with a bun on her head, looong dress, long sleeves, and a high neckline, come out to meet Elizabeth Edwards in person at a local event in 2003. It would be like seeing a fundamentalist latter day saints Texas female wearing one of those little house on the prairie dresses at a male stripper event, to my prejudiced mind anyway at that time. It was just a prejudice, I know. I would be shocked to see a red area not get one liberal vote.
