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 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.
Why do so many of you put so much faith in this "sway" BS? States and regions don't vote based on a national treand (since their colmination creates that trend, the view point is acctually counter-intuitive), they vote the way they vote for individual reasons, not because of some herd mentality. If one state, or two states decind to "buck the trend" it is not nessesarily an indication of... anything. Various factors go into these things.
