Coming in 10th place was Jacksonville, N.C. Jacksonville scored 53 points. With a population of 68,554 last year, the city had 9,526 people, or 12.2 percent, leave. Any Marine will tell you that this is due to external factors...the decimation, or worse, of Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station, New River, the Marine bases for which Jacksonville is the bedroom community. This trend will be reversed...jj

Philadelphia........The greater Philadelphia region still has more than 7 million people in a 12-county area, but most of the residents are located in the 9-county metropolitan area.

The metropolitan Philadelphia area has between five and six million folks. The city itself has 1,417,601 million and its voter registration is 991,437. Democrats outnumber Republicans by 738,103 (74.5%) to 192,604 (19.4%), so it's no wonder Gore's lead over Bush was so severe in Philly. Aside from Pennsylvania's voting registration increasing 23 percent, the explanation for the Philadelphia vote is below. And do note it has nothing to do with what the rightwing journal SupplySideInvestor.com asserted. seventy.org I find it interesting that the writer of the SupplySide article while making a claim of a difference of 300,000, deleted more than 100,000 from Philadelphia's population in order to better serve her GOPwinger point.

Without immigration from neighboring states, PA would have a negative pop growth (New Jersey couples looking for a piece of the country life, for example. Lots of cows being shot mistaken for buck. Im not kidding.) A good deal of the pop loss is young people, such as myself, fleeing the state for greener pastures in the South and West. Ridge has made quite an effort to get young people to stay. Hopefully with a bit of tax relief and incentives, places like the Lehigh Valley will become a magnet for young talent. Derek
