Yes, I know shocking news.  But I thought it would be a good first Front-page post. From the SF Examiner:

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco is the ninth most liberal city in America, trailing both Oakland and Berkeley on a list of more than 200 progressive municipalities, and the Bay Area as a whole is officially the most liberal region in America, according to a study released Thursday.

The study, conducted by the nonpartisan Bay Area Center for Voting Research, examined voting patterns in the 2004 presidential election of 237 cities with populations over 100,000.
