Ahh, not sure about the others, but Stockton is Democrat run.
Stockton has been deep red for as long as my grandfather has been alive. In the last 10 years it has become a swing district due to an influx of hispanics but trust me, it's always been a dungheap and until very, very recently (the last election or two) a bright red dung heap.
You don't seem to get it, Jean. FORBES is a die hard right winger and his magazine is mostly fluff opinion pieces not news. That's why it is so worthless. There is nothing behind this except Steve Forbes' personal opinion which is always skewed due to his personal hatreds and biases. It's a political magazine, Jean. Duh.
Im just laughing at the outrage because of a meaningless article. It doesn't effect our lives in any way.

Its been blue since Obama.
And only last year faced bankruptcy.
Modesto, CA is certainly red politically and is on this list as well. BTW, liberal areas like Minneapolis/St. Paul, Seattle/Tacoma, Denver/Boulder and Portland, have scored well on quality of life/economic surveys.

Portland has one of the highest depression rates in the country.
Keep in mind that most states are blue states now.
And the nations entire education system has been going down hill for a few years now. All the money Obama has pumped in has been a complete waste with no results.
Ummm, no. Not so much.
But don't let that stop you.

Apparently, you missed where I quoted you.
You do know that the war costs under bush were not shown in the defense budget, but under discretionary spending.
You also might want to get your facts straight about spending.
