Minnesota is economically conservative? Yeah, you'd sure enjoy our tax rates.

I don't believe he's talking about enacted policy, but instead, general preference of the state's electorate. That said, I think MN is economically liberal.

Tossup really. I didn't know where to put it. It has economically conservative suburbs in Minneapolis being cancelled out by the old mining and union areas in the Northeast around Lake Superior. Rural areas could break either way, in essence. It could go either way. Just as I think Texas, South Carolina, Tennesee and Wisconsin could. It's really hard to actually consider states economic policies considering that economics, as a major issues, hasn't been part of a presidential race since 1992.

Most of the rural areas are economically populist. That's why they vote way more Democratic in state racs than national.

Yeah there is no way in hell Virginia is socially liberal.

No socially liberal state would've given George Allen 49%
