A big tip of the beret to St. Louis, which has managed to out-left the liberals in Berkeley, Calif., Cambridge, Mass., and Boulder, Colo.

And that, my comrades, is a whole lot of liberalism.

According to a study by Livability.com, St. Louis is No. 1 when it comes to liberal cities in the U.S.

Along with election data and political activity, several touchstones of popular/consumer culture were used as factors, such as a person's favorite television network, automobile brand, restaurant and magazine.

(For the record: St. Louis residents are most likely to watch HBO, drive a Subaru, read Maxim, shop at Victoria's Secret and eat at California Pizza Kitchen.)

The study said: "St. Louis is a true-blue community, and it has been for several years. For example, during the 2008 presidential election, President (Barack) Obama easily carried St. Louis, and 82.7 percent of St. Louis voted Democrat in 2012."
