Interesting since it’s just outside Ithaca, NY, that one FReeper calls ‘The City of Evil.’
A lot more than just one!! I live near Ithaca, and I have the bumper sticker on each of my vehicles.

And the liberals think it's a hoot. Every time I shop at the Greenstar hippie co-op somebody asks me about it.
You know, with the stigma of Ithaca and NYC on us NYers, too many people (as in FReepers) consider NY a lost cause, and criticize us who are here for various reasons, blaming us for the condition of our state.
And yet, here this goes to show that Upstate NY really IS conservative, every bit as red as other parts of the country. The cities overwhelm us in the bigger elections, but here in the small town, we’re conservative.
Yesterday when I went to vote, the ballot was overwhelmingly Republican/conservative. Easily half the open positions had only one person running; a candidate for the Republican/Conservative parties and NO candidate for the Democratic/Liberal parties.
