Do you really rate Madison as being more liberal than San Fransico??? More importantly, ou of the Top 10, I would describe around 8 as being some of the most conservative places in the country. While surely Madison benefits greatly from the presence of one of the best universities in the world and the nearby presence of Chicago, it seems arguable that conservative policies do pretty well in turning comparative backwaters like Provo, Huntsville, Lexington, and Richmond into some of the best business environments in the country.
