If you'd like to get a sense of the political leanings of the people in your town and those around it, you can check out Matthew Kane's Following the Dollar, a Google map "mashup" that takes Federal Election Commission records on political party contributions and superimposes them on U.S. maps, by zip code. Kane uses blue pushpins to show Democratic contributors, and red ones for their Republican counterparts.
This fun-to-use tool was described in Damon Darlin's post, Know Your Neighbor, on The New York Times' new real estate blog, The Walkthrough.
