Phoenix is definitely a city that is unfriendly to liberals.
Sheriff Joe, a good friend of Rush Limbaugh's, keeps his prisoners in a tent city, rather than normal jail cells, in a climate where the temperature often exceeds 110 degrees in the summer. He is VERY popular here and did not even have any opposition in his last election. Arizona in general is also a hotbed of right-wing militia activity. You will recall that the Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh, had Arizona connections. Here in Phoenix, we had the Viper Militia last year which was plotting to blow up the federal courthouse.
