I just threw it out there as a sort of wildcard that no one else would think to say.  It is VERY partisan democrat, but the church going rate tends to be high, I think.  Blacks, who make up  a sizable portion of the electorate, tend to oppose abortion and gay marriage for example, making them more conservative socially than most Gore states.  Remember, the poll said conservative, not Republican.

Also, I clicked other thinking I'd vote Tennessee.  Then I remembered that Gore lost TN, so I had to think of another state that wasn't listed in the poll.  The best case I could make was DC.

Nah, the NAACP is very powerful there (they're trying to get a grip on Catholic U, but the University constantly denies them a right to a student organization), and so most of the blacks there are socially as well as fiscally liberal. But you're right- a lot of blacks are socially conservative. One of my good friends is black and fairly conservative socially (he's still liberal).
