It's a mixed bag. Moscow, Coeur d'Alene, Sandpoint are more liberal. Kellogg/Wallace, Lewiston/Orofino, St. Maries are more conservative. (These are cultural not political attributes; Democrats are still strongest in the most culturally conservative, blue-collar mine/mill towns in Idaho.)
And Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas rank in the top 10 conservative states but not the 10 most Republican. The top 10 liberal states -- Delaware, Connecticut, Washington state, Rhode Island, Hawaii, and New York, in addition to D.C., Massachusetts, Oregon, and Vermont -- are all reliably Democratic voting states.
