What doesn't work in Chicago may also not work in Cheyenne

With regard the Demo platform acknowledgment that "What works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne," it's worth noting that:

"This election season, for instance, the residents of Obama's hometown are being murdered at a clip not seen in five years.

Murders have risen 18 percent over a year ago. Assaults in the city involving guns are also rising. City officials, Police Supt. Jody Weis and the police force are increasingly coming under criticism."

Update: Fighting for Liberty notes:

Homicide rate: Chicago 16.4, Cheyenne 3.5
Robbery rate: Chicago 555, Cheyenne 40
