That's the point - it's not just some binary characterization where a state is either all liberal or all conservative.

Are they as liberal as Massachusetts or neighboring Vermont? No. But to say that they aren't liberal at all simply isn't true.
So you're going to try to indite me on a % argument? You and I both know that relative to what's going on with the national GOP, it's not Conservative. In fact, they went for Biden. Are we now calling Biden liberal? Biden is the type of Country Club Republican that plays very well in the Northeast.

They're not Ted Cruz voters. That doesn't mean they're liberal. As Tip O'Neill once said of New Hampshire "Those guys don't even like parks." They're a leave-me-alone state in Culture and politics. As your own comment mentioned, they didn't vote for the $15 minimum wage.
