Not really. Downtown Columbia (any Urban Downtown area)is and always will be very blue. The ultra-conservative Cayce-West Columbia/Lexington areas are all in Lexington County. Richland has a high minority population outside of Columbia in the Hopkins/Lower Richland area, too, which skews left.
For all the hippies in Athens, Columbia is a bigger city and while the surrounding area is very conservative, Richland county is almost 50/50 between black (solid blue) and white (split between blue and red).

don't turn this thread into a liberal v. conservative. there's a separate politics board for that shite.
