By comparison, Obama got 78.5% in Alameda County, California, home to Berkeley, and 76.9% in Suffolk Co., Massachusetts, home to Harvard and the rest of Boston's lefty population.
Remember the shock in Portland a little while back, when that jihadist terrorist plot was uncovered? The trendy leftists of Portland couldn't believe that anti-American terrorists could possibly target them. Just like Michael Moore whose response to 9-11 was to wonder why the terrorists attacked New York, which had voted for Gore.
