Content: In 2008 Obama won Cass County, where Fargo is located, but lost the rest of the state. This meant McCain earned the three North Dakota electoral collegevotes. 6. Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis is the 5th most liberal city in our study but falls to 6th on our list because of a fairly high cost of living (110.9) and a good but not great economy (16thhighest median income and 30th lowest unemployment rate). Minnesota has one of the most politically active citizenry in the U.S. with 77% of the population voting in the 2008 election compared to the national average of 61%. 7. Cedar Rapids, IA
Cedar Rapids, like Fargo, is not the most liberal of places but it does have a strong economy, which is why it cracks the top 10 best places to be a liberal. It also has the 2nd best upward mobility of liberal-leaning cities. By combining one of the lowest costs of living (92.02) with a very low unemployment rate (5.7%), Cedar Rapids is able to beat fellow Iowan city of Des Moines in our rankings. For the politically active parents out there, Cedar Rapids is also the back to back best place for children.
