I can't say I have any experience at all with Columbus. The closest I come is Cleveland. But, on paper, Columbus doesn't seem to have a huge amount to offer. It doesn't have any elite universities, nor elite cultural offerings (museums, pro sports teams, symphonies, theaters, etc.), and it's a fairly long trip to other big metro areas. It does have the advantage of having a huge state school there, which is going to mean a lot of ability to attract young college graduates, as well as some cultural offerings that center around universities. But practically every state has at least one city like that, so it doesn't really set it apart.

Excuse me... The Ohio State University is one of the finest University's in the country. They are home to the Columbus Yellow Jackets. It has elite cultural attractions along with Ohio State Buckeyes football.

Mott would you like to jump in here?

This means nothing but going off the 2016 election 10 of the 19 cities in the finals were from red states.

Exactly. Judging by 2016, 60% of states were red states, yet only 50% of the finalist list were red states, meaning they were under-represented. And half of those were actually "purple states" -- states that had gone for Obama twice before swinging to Trump. Only five were from true red states (GA, TX, IN, and TN).

10/19 is over 50%

Sorry for going off topic here but do you ever look up Martin O'Malley and the black vote for the 2016 primary? Last time we spoke you were offering 2012 numbers and saying black voters supported him. But what you had left out was the results of his zero tolerance policy in Baltimore and how black voters had turned against him by 2016.

That's not its reputation nationally. US News ranks it 56th among national universities. To put that in perspective, I went to school in the Boston area, and there are seven universities in that area that outrank Ohio State (Harvard, MIT, Tufts, Brandeis, BC, BU, and Northeastern). As for the Yellow Jackets, I suppose it's better than not having a pro sports team, but seeing as it's the fourth place of the big four sports leagues, and the Yellow Jackets are the only team in the league never to have won a single playoff series, it's not exactly like NY with the Yankees, Mets, Giants, Jets, Rangers, Islanders, Knicks, and Nets.

I suppose Buckeyes Football is an attraction, at least for those who went to that university.

He was mayor of Baltimore from 1999 to January 2007. So, if his time there was going to sour black voters on him, they'd have been well-soured before he won in 2006 and 2010. Yet exit polls show he did well with blacks in both those elections. So, what evidence do you see that black voters had turned against him by 2016, and what was it that turned them, if it hadn't taken hold during his time in Baltimore?

I posted several articles for you in that thread. It had to do with the results of his zero tolerance policy. It's why he had no chance.

right. he might have done well in Balto, but that zero tolerance doesn't play nationally.

I personally like him for his "metrics governing" approach

Yet, again, he won in 2006 and 2010, with huge support from blacks. Why did this supposed impact only happen after that? And what evidence is there that it did?
