Possibly Florida.  It doesn't even have an income tax.

States like Alabama and Virginia aren't really more libertarian.  Yeah, they had a stronger GOP presence earlier than some of the rest of the south, but that's more due to historical circumstances.  In terms of ideology at most you saw a suburban whiggism develop in the new south that manifested as GOP support; that's not really libertarian.

These days you see a strong anti-tax and anti-welfare sentiment.  This is the angry white man, the direct descendent of George Wallace's constituency.  Their wives are more likely to be strictly evangelical voters, putting cultural/family issues first, or independents.
