November - McCain vs Obama

[The Hack Hater]

I doubt the south is more liberal. Maybe California is.

More liberal than 1964? Hell yeah, while the South isn't exactly a hot bed of progressivism and tolerance it's not exact living in the 1950s either.

Yeah. Virginia's the best example(DC suburbs), but North Carolina and Georgia have both seen an influx of people from the north in recent years. But it's mostly felt in NC. Overall, it hasn't changed much, however.

[The Hack Hater]

There's more liberal, and there's electing some guy who supported gun restrictions and a number of other policies that made him unpopular in the South. Obviously, the South is still behind the rest of the country in a number of ways, and they'll continue to hold us back for quite some time.

[The Hack Hater]

Probably not, but they're still conservative enough to be reliably Republican in pratically every state except for Florida, which doesn't exactly fit in with the rest of the South for a number of reasons. As for Virginia, I might give it another 1-2 presidential elections before it really becomes a swing state. It doesn't represent the whole South, by any means.
