There is a notable difference between Democratic and Liberal as well as Republican and Conservative. For example places like Detroit, Gary Indiana, are democrat but not liberal

Washington state

Liberal:

Seattle
Bainbridge Island and Vashion Island
Bellingham
Olympia
San Juan Islands
Port Townsend

Slightly more liberal than conversative:
Parts of the Eastside suburbs(such as Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah etc.)
Most areas in the Seattle area outside Seattle in the Seattle metro
Tacoma
Most areas in Western Washington in general

Liberal/Conservative split

Spokane
Vancouver, WA
Pullman, Washington

Slightly more conservative than Liberal
Yakima
Most areas in Central/Eastern Washington(Spokane and Pullman are notable exception)


Conservative

Certain areas in Central/Eastern Washington between Yakima and Spokane.

Liberal: Lawrence. It's been referred to as "Berkeley on the Plains."
Moderate: Topeka maybe. Republican mayor who followed a Democratic mayor. Mixed state representation it seems, maybe a bit more Democratic than Republican.
Conservative: Possibly Hays. I don't recall it as all that conservative, but it's voting pattern and "gay index" seem to indicate conservative.

Yes, but what about Liberal!?

Toledo (more socially conservative)

Elyria
Kent

Moderate:
Columbus (though it seems to be going left recently)
Sandusky
Dayton

Conservative:
Cincinatti (perhaps more libertarian than anything else)
Lima
Springfield
Mansfield
Every other town with pop lower than 40,000

I would probably move Youngstown/Warren to the "Moderate" category; leans more socially conservative, and I believe the Democratic mayor of Y-Town backed G.W. Bush in the 2004 election.

For SC, Columbia is a little more on the liberal side; I'd probably say that Charleston is also slightly center left. Greenville is more conservative.

I agree with this. I would say Charlotte is generally more conservative and Raleigh is generally more liberal.

Kentucky

Liberal (although still somewhat more conservative than many large metros on the east and west coasts):

• Covington (Kentucky's most liberal city, IMO)
• Hopkinsville (the only place outside of Louisville and Covington with a significant African-American population)
• Berea (a real artsy-fartsy liberal type town)
• Louisville (keepin' it "weird")
• Lexington (one of its state Senators, Kathy Stine, could rival Nancy Pelosi in terms of left-wing stances. No joke. Oh, and another one their state Senators, as well as their Vice Mayor, are openly homosexual.)
• Newport
• Paducah
• Frankfort

Moderate (which would be nearly conservative in many suburban communities on the coasts):

• Henderson (Kentucky's smallest town, to my knowledge, with health benefits for homosexual couples)
• Murray
• Richmond
• Owensboro (leaning conservative in an old-school Dixiecrat sort of way)
• Bowling Green (leaning conservative)
• Bellevue (leaning conservative)
• Shelbyville (the only place outside of Louisville and Lexington with a major Hispanic population)

Conservative

• Most Northern Kentucky suburban cities (i.e.: Fort Mitchell, Crestview Hills, Fort Thomas, etc.)
• Most Oldham County suburban cities (i.e.: Crestwood, Pewee Valley, La Grange, etc.)
• Corbin
• London
• Somerset
• Glasgow
• Campbellsville
• Elizabethtown (probably)
• Madisonville (generally)

Orlando

Fort Myers
Naples
Jacksonville
Pensacola
Lakeland

Lest one forgets the most reliable Republican votes in FL, Hialeah is by far the most conservative city in the state. Conversely I'd add Miami Beach to the liberal column. Funny how these two places are so close to each other.
