I lived in Ann Arbor during my college years (my Freeper handle is in need of an update), and I would not get offended if a conservative candidate used “Ann Arbor Values” as a pejorative.
I live in Ct now. Ct values SUCK! I am a 64 year old redneck conservative who grew up in the city, was once proud to call myself a New Yorker but no more. A Great Society cesspool dominates most of the boroughs now while the money men on Wall Street where my Grandpa tended bar are for the most part limo liberals and corporatists in bed with politicians.
There are millions of good folks in New York but they are overwhelmed by the lefties. A shame.
