Progressives Take Manhattan, and Many Other U.S. Cities (Harold Meyerson) from Washington Post
"Twenty years ago, half of America’s dozen largest cities had Republican mayors. Today, just one does. Of the 30 largest U.S. cities, 26 have Democratic mayors — the greatest partisan imbalance perhaps since the presidency of James Monroe, when the nation had only one political party. ... Some Democratic mayors — Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel, for one — cling to a 1990s-vintage Clintonian centrism. But most of the mayoral newbies were elected on platforms that called for higher minimum wages and universal preschool, as well as building energy-efficient affordable housing."
