The obvious answer is California.  It's worth noting that Eastern white Democrats are far less SJWish and socially liberal than Western white Democrats (with the possible exception of Vermont).

California isn't uniformly socially liberal.

Who is more socially liberal? Someone for gun control and the death penalty, or someone against both?
That is true. Los Angeles County as a whole voted against marijuana legalization. More than 60% of Orange County voted against legalizing marijuana. Some heavily Democratic communities like Hacienda Heights, West Covina, Whittier, Santa Ana, East Garden Grove, and West Anaheim, voted against marijuana legalization by a wide margin.

Did pot fail in Southern California as a whole?  Apart from Hollywood, Southern California seems a lot less liberal culturally to me than Northern California.

Ha at Oregon this is a state that voted to ban gay marriage, and is not that strict on guns(http://civilliberty.about.com/od/guncontrol/a/Oregon-Gun-Laws.htm)

2004 Roll Eyes

I said, I excluded guns on the measure of social liberalism, as it's a stupid measure of social liberalism any ways.

Oregon is one of the most socially liberal states in the country, in the country. Massachusetts has a strong socially conservative "underbelly", sometimes reflected in not reflected in state-wide policy, but in attitude, or person's/politicians ideology. It has gotten less these days, since when I was raised there, but it's still there.

Rhode Island, is much stronger in this regard, Massachusetts probably like this if it has lot less universities, and less middle but not upper-middle class liberal WASP's.

Oregon also rejected GMO labeling and by a 2-1 margin voted to reject giving driver licenses to illegal immigrants

And, is it fair to say that the SOS election going Republican was largely due to people not liking the previous Democratic SOS prosecuting Christian bakers over not baking a cake for a gay wedding?
