Most Liberal & Most Conservative part of All 50 States? (live, place, population)

[skylar0201]

This subject sort of came up in a different thread I was on and thought it would be great to find some of this out. Since this could be a very important congressional election year, I think this question would be appropriate without getting into too much debate on here with one party or another.

For each of the 50 states ( preferably the state you live in or are very familiar with ) what is the most liberal part of the state, and which is the most conservative part of the state? Can you provide reasons why you feel this way?

I'm hoping eventually, all 50 states will be presented in this thread for both the most liberal and most conservative sections to each state.

I think all 50 states fit this mold in one way or another, but I'd curious to see where everyone has the mold fit to, so to speak with their opinions.

Thanks in advance everyone!

TN
Liberal- Midtown Memphis- You can feel the liberalness as soon as you get there. Parts of evey other major city, but I'm not really sure what they are. College campuses- University of Memphis, UT Knox, and Vanderbilt especially.

Conservative- Everywhere else. There are a lot of Conservative Democrats in TN, so even if a place votes Democrat, it's probably still Conservative.

NY- Liberal-the major and mid-major cities, Ithaca, "diverse" communities on Long Island......

Conservative-Most of Upstate NY, less diverse parts of Long Island

I will say that there are quite a few areas that overlap in Upstate NY(the major metros, generally).

I wouldn't call the DFW or Houston area 'liberal' at all. Moderate, yes, but 'most liberal,' no.
