Reminds me of a larger South Carolina, except for the low percentage of blacks. Some kind of cross between South Carolina and Pennsylvania, maybe, although the LDS percentage would probably place it somewhere in the West. Regardless, it's probably consistently and fairly strongly Republican.

Yeah I was thinking of the interior West in general-affluent, educated, white, a high LDS percentage, and lots of defense and military jobs.
