Hmm i'm not sure about this one, but could the abundance of non-english speaking folk in CA contribute to this?
New York has it's fair share of "Non-English speaking folk" and they are number 10.
As for "the liberal state" theory, the number one state according to this survey, is Massachusetts, which truely is one of the more liberal states in the county (to say the least).
