Hey whatya know, another list and another #1 ranking for Raleigh. This time it is Most Political US City voted on by Men’s Health Magazine with Montgomery, Alabama coming in second. Last week it was “Best Performing Cities of 2008” in which Raleigh excelled.

What have you seen in this election year?  In the past few years? Does Raleigh deserve this political ranking to you? This is what Downtown Raleigh looked like on the day of the NC Primaries.  What will November 4th look like in the Capital City?

    I’m really surprised we’re number one.  And that Greensboro is number six.  I know I’m very informed but I didn’t know our city as a whole was so active compared to others.  But if it means we’re gonna flip the state this year, I’ll take it!!!
