DescriptionAll week The Daily Caller has been counting down the 100 counties in America where liberals would be happiest living. Now it’s time for the final installment, the top 20 list (on Monday, we counted down numbers 100-81; Tuesday was 80-61; Wednesday we ran numbers 60-41 and Thursday we listed 40-21).
