It says more about each of those city's electorate than it does any particular party.
Maybe those voters expect more from elected officials than they can, or even more, should, provide.
The daddy/mommy state can't work because it just can't love it's so-called "children".
Inner Cities have unique problems that can not be fixed by any one area alone - if I knew what the solution was I would implement it, but many wiser than me have tried and failed. But the list is endless and I'm not even going to START that debate here.
The bottom line is we are also looking at this from a NJ perspective (and why not, it's a NJ board) but I'm sure there are some crappy towns in Arkansas that have Republicans in power for 100 years and they suck too. Maybe a Dem should just take them over and all will be well too.
Well, whoever you got the email from is a liar. I am not going to go through each of the cities, but I live in Miami and while the current mayor is a Democrat, the previous two were Republicans. It might make sense to research these things before sharing.

Of course you know the solution. Start caring about the people instead of your pocket book.

Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican Mayor
Yeah - most of those e-mails should be vetted. Like VP candidates should be.
I got the below email and found it interesting. Don't know if it's true or not, couldn't find it on Snopes.

*Einstein once said, “The definition of insanity is doing
the same thing over and over again and expecting different
results.”
It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats,
- yet they are still disadvantaged.
As Charles Barkley the former NBA player stated,
“All these years the poor people have voted for the
democrats, one thing remained the same, they are still poor!”
Ok..now show us weathliest States and denote which party governs them
In these cases, Democratic is a sympton not a cause.
Democrats are seen as being more sympathetic toward welfare and government assistance. The people in poverty tend to be city dwellers where they have access to clinics and public transportation.
Poverty causes Democrats not Democrats cause poverty.
Edit: Oh and #1 Detroit. Run so poorly, the level is almost inconceivable. Google Detroit, Mayor, Council, Corruption, Jail
