I remember seeing somewhere that, had the largest county in the state not voted, SC would have gone Democratic. I'm going to assume that the largest county is in Columbia, the conservative state capital. My town Charleston almost went Democratic, going Bush 52-47. We've got a socially liberal mayor, Joe Riley, too, who's had the job for decades (he led a march to get rid of the Confederate flag on the State capital). But generally the most Democratic counties are where the most blacks are, and blacks aren't really social liberal (I think they're generally more populist, in the old sense of the term). So SC doesn't really have any socially liberal towns or counties.
Isn't New Orleans fairly liberal socially?
Yeah
