Most Socially Conservative Gore/Kerry state

I have no personal experience there, but I'm not sure that its Iowa. Its not part of the bible belt and they consistently elect Democrats (except Sen. Grassley).

I voted Michigan, with PA and NM as runners up.

M&C is right about New Hampshire not belonging on the list. They are economic conservatives, not social ones.

I've always gotten the impression that Iowa is part of the Bible belt.  It has one of the highest church attendance rates, at least.

Yes, Iowa tends to be a populist state.

Michigan is socially moderate, but not conservative by any means.

If I were to rate Michigan on the political matrix I'd put it at -2 E, -1 S.

Are you referring to real Michigan, or Detroit?   Michigan outside of Wayne county goes 52% for Bush.

Haha. I'm referring to the state as a whole. Obviously Detroit would be further left than the numbers I cited (especially economically), while the rest of the state would indeed lean slightly to the right if Detroit were to secede.

Of course, if I wanted to play that game, I could say that Ottawa and Kent counties shouldn't count as part of the "real Michigan".
