Although not necessarily proving anything, this is an interesting
look at how each city with a major league team voted in the 2004 election. Remember, all big cities tend to have more Democratic
than Republican voters.
Numbers under "Bush" and "Kerry" are in thousands of voters and
are taken from CNN Election Results from the counties and metropolitan areas of major cities.
