In the 2004 Presidential elections, over 75% of Dallas voters voted for John Kerry over George W. Bush, making the city the 32nd most liberal city in the United States by sheer percentages and more liberal than traditionally left-leaning cities such as Los Angeles, Milwaukee
Because certain people (the kind that populate boards like this) tend to find conservative places undesirable. It's people's preferences, so people want to know. Like any other preference in economics, there is no "why" beyond the bare fact of the preference. Since people value it, it's important.
Okay, I was just asking. I'd also like to point out that Milwaukee's metropolitan area is only 1,773,519 compared to Dallas's over 6.1 million. Population factor should be considered in your argument.
Also, Los Angeles has a metropolitan area of over 12 million and the mixture is quite volatile. Of course it is unlikely that so many people in one city are going to vote for one candidate over the other.

We're talking about city, not metro. Sorry. There are tons of conservative suburbs in both L.A. and Dallas.
But even if we were talking metro and not city...who cares? We're talking about percentages. And the fact that Dallas, the city, is so huge just makes the stat all the more impressive because it means there are a ton of liberals there.
If you don't know I'm not gonna tell you. It is really quite simple really. Think about it.
