Most socially liberal Bush state

What's the most socially liberal Bush state now?!

Nevada!

Sounds about right. Most socially liberal swing state is Oregon, and the most socially liberal Kerry state is probably Massachusetts.

I think Vermont is more socially liberal.

I think they have a bit more of a social libertarian lean. It is the second most pro-gun state.

True.  Gun control is such an odd issue.  Theoretically, social conservatives should support gun control and vice-versa, but hte issue is opposite than what it should be.

I wouldn't call Oregon a swing state - a swing state would probably be one Bush won.  Remember, you have to adjust two points.  In a tie election, Kerry "would" have won Oregon by almost seven points - hardly a swing state.

It's called partisan index.

Here's a partisan index of all states going back to 1968
