Which state is more socially liberal?

[DINGO Joe]

I've seen it listed that WV has the most strip clubs per capita of any state (though for all I know ND may lead that list now), and I'd expect WV to legalize marijuana before Georgia.  Despite metro Atlanta, I'd go WV.

Georgia has cities like Atlanta, Athens, ect.

West Virginia only really has Charleston, which is about as conservative as the rest of the state.


If a vote on gay marriage was held in Georgia and West Virginia. I'd expect around 45% support in Georgia, but only ~30% in West Virginia.

By the end of the decade Berkeley/Jefferson (Federal WV) will probably pass Charleston (Kanawha) in population.  They're both somewhat most socially liberal than the rest of the state.

I think we need to ask the truckers which state has more prostitutes.

There are myriad ways to do this. Tooth loss is highly correlated with conservatism. So too is an affinity for clogging - not to mention blood measurements for levels of banjo appreciation. West Virginia is much more conservative than George given these useful metrics.

And yet Deliverance was filmed in Georgia.  discuss.
