Baltimore is another city where Democrats have helped the poor
tremendously, by keeping them poor.

Residents with income below the poverty level in 2007:
Baltimo 20.0%
Whole state: 8.3%

Residents with income below 50% of the poverty level in 2007:
Baltimo 9.4%
Whole state: 3.8%


Let's look at their mayoral history for the past few years:

Thomas L. J. D'Alesandro III 1967 1971 Democrat
William Donald Schaefer 1971 1987 Democrat
Clarence H. Burns 1987 1988 Democrat
Kurt L. Schmoke January 10, 1988 December 7, 1999
Democrat
Martin J. O'Malley December 7, 1999 January 17, 2007
Democrat
Sheila Dixon January 17, 2007 – Democrat

Huh, all Democrats. Who'd a thought that?
