two states that are political opposites....

Montana and New Jersey in 1992

I wouldn't say that.  They are both socially liberal-moderate.  I think a better 1992 one would be Arkansas or West Virginia and Connecticut.

I wouldn't call Montana socially liberal per se.  It's socially non-inteventionalist, like it is economically, but Montanans are not progressive.  They're just libertarian.

It's hard to explain.

i wish massachusetts would get back to liberalism.

You like Massachusetts, and you don't think it's liberal enough.  So why are you a Republican? 

I think he means traditional liberalism, as in, libertarianism.
