Curious as to what metro areas you guys think are the most liberal in the south?

New Orleans and Miami probably. Houston's metro didn't seem very liberal at all when I lived there. The city did but not the suburbs, they felt like typical southern politics.

Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill

northern Virginia if you consider that the south.

Austin, followed by Raleigh. Those are probably the only two Southern metropolitan areas that I'd even call liberal to begin with.

New Orleans southshore neighborhoods are more socially liberal. Miami is known for this as well. Other cities feel more conservative.

It probably depends on whether you are thinking fiscally or socially or both? Are you talking about acceptance of others or liberal in other ways: and it depends on what you call south. Texas, for instance is a southern state, but many think of it as southwest. My guess, if you consider Texas as part of the south, the most liberal is New Orleans, when it comes to social issues and Austin overall. Of course most large college towns are going to lean liberal. If you ad VA, you can put Richmond on the list and Raleigh?Durham really isn't liberal in the same sense as Austin. Ft Lauderdale, possibly due to the high gay population. I don't really think of Miami as a truly over the top liberal metro area. South Miami Beach, maybe.

Miami and Austin leap to mind. Ashville and Raliegh are probably close.
