Socially liberal rural areas

[Verily]

Let's see...

-rural Vermont
-rural New Hampshire (votes for Republicans on economic issues, though the south is probably less socially liberal than the north)
-rural Maine (guns are an issue in the really empty areas in the north, but otherwise liberal)
-the Berkshires (that would be western Massachusetts)
-much of the Hudson Valley (especially New Paltz, though that's a college town)
-the UP of Michigan, and northern Wisconsin and Minnesota (again, guns are an issue)
-the entire Pacific Coast, urban or rural, from Los Angeles north

-the UP of Michigan

Didn't Bush actually win this in 2004? (I know Bush won MI-1, which includes the entire UP, but I'm not sure how the rest of the district voted.)

Most of it. Its politics are kind of hard to predict, and it certainly wasn't voting on economic issues. The UP strikes me as mostly pro-incumbent, much like Hawaii.

I'm not sure I could fit 299 people at my dinner table.
