Most liberal Southern CD?

Perhaps I should rephrase that question. Why?

It was nominally a part of the confederacy, like Kentucky and presumably like West Virginia. It doesn't really matter, though, because no one's going to nominate any Missouri district...

Although Massachusetts is odd. I probably should have double-checked that one. Too lazy now. Tab's already closed.

It makes sense to me. Universities, liberal politics, tech and medical jobs have lured a lot of southerners here. I don't know how much of this is the circles I'm in vs. the city as a whole, but there seem to be a lot of southern gays, graduate students, scientists, doctors, academics, and just plain liberals in the area. I think this city has not been as comfortable a place for African-Americans to settle after school as it is for many white people, for a variety of reasons.

Except that the total southerner population is given as pretty low.
No, I wager I made a mistake in calculating.

Yes, I think I made the wrong response above. I can believe there actually aren't that many southerners here, and that this number reflects the fact it's an undesirable city for one group and very desirable for another.
