I'd say Vermont, with a Socialist congressman.

WV. Even Capito is an economic liberal.

Do unions count as economics or are they social policy?  If economics, California is a right-to-work state and, like the rest of the west, has much less union influence and membership than New England or the Midwest.

Massachusetts.  Anywhere in the midwest or west isn't as bad, more open spaces, fewer regulations.  Massachusetts is very controlled, taxes and regulated.  Strangled within an inch of its life.  They also have a lot of welfare benefits.

I felt it was economically liberal because of the amount of debt they are in.

We're in debt not because we are liberal, but because our last governor gave a handout to every lefty interest group.  It was corruption, not ideology.

I voted Michigan, for its heavy union influence.

The answer is Minnesota in my opinion.  Ventura did a good job of keeping it in check when he was there.

Well also if Bustamonte would have been elected or Davis had stayed in I'd agree with States because lets face it we were heading that way... But Arnold basically saved us all from getting taxed to death(I'll never forget his one line "when you flush the toilet we are taxed" that was great!).
