What's with the idea that Minnesota is more liberal socially than economically? (Note the above list). There's nothing notably socially liberal about Minnesota. We don't even have civil unions. Probably coming in at least a decade, but we aren't there yet. Plus we're one of only three states that requires women be informed of a completely bullsh!t claim of a link between abortion and breast cancer, granted that's a huge fluke, some GOP state legislators managed to sneak that into a larger bill, but still. Minnesota is hardly socially conservative, but there's nothing socially liberal about the state that's as notable as our tax rates. Anyone calling Minnesota "libertarian" by any definition really ought to take a look at our tax code by the way and see just how idiotic that statement is.
And besides, do you think northeastern Minnesota and those counties in the west are voting Democratic on social issues?
