Yes, it took a a long time for the scales to fall from Southern eyes and see that the socialist Democrats really were socialists. It was sad to see conservatives act so foolishly. Seems like the the conservatives will have to leave the Republican Party just like there GF's left the Democrat Party. Conservatives are like the Jews wander a political desert. It's not a new thing.
Based on recent presidential elections I'd say the Great Plains states are the most conservative part of the country. Oklahoma up through the Dakotas, over to Montana and Idaho and then down through Wyoming and Utah.
