@Retired_Engineer:
Most of our poor large, inner cities are run by democratic mayors. Check it out. While at it compare democratic verses republican run cities. Democrats don't know what the bleep they're doing. Case close.
@Ruger5: Mayors aren't elected just for inner cities. They represent the entire city. However, I know that large inner cities tend to vote Democratic.
