The 2 views are extremely dissimilar, and neither will change their views (nor should they).
The heavy swing to a evangelical judeo-christian beliefs by the conservatives is perfectly fine. They despise secular people who don't "conform" to their way of life. On the otherhand, secular people in the US still think "freedom of choice", "freedom of expression" etc... and they don't want to have their views determined for them.
An interesting article I found, as a summary stated that the "blue" states should simply fuck off and join Canada.
Link to article.
This is the view from the new ruling viewpoint. My favorite line from it is "And the new Canadians would be free to have abortions, enter into gay marriages, do stem-cell research and engage in all other wickednesses that flourish in that bastion of corrupt and Godless liberalism.".
Women are now reporting numerous situations where they go to fill in a birth control prescription, and the pharmacist tears it up in front of them and begins to lecure them about "birth control is a form of abortion".
Hit from the US to the Canadian immigration website went up 600% in one day (November 3rd). I think the liberals hear ya.
Benefits for you new Canadians would include, the worlds largest reserves of untapped oil (guess who'll own the future when them spigots run out in the mideast?), excellent exports of Oil to the US. Also electricity (most of western North America is powered by hydro power from BC). You'll have one of the best passports in the world (2nd to Swiss) so you can travel extemely freely. You'll also live in the only country in the world which has been running budget surpluses for over 6 years in a row (yes, surpluses, not deficits). Your medical coverage will start the day you join. For your kids, the drinking age is 18 or 19 depending on province, plus the beer is much better. The largest reserves of clean fresh water in the world (we'll just pipe it down to LA, we got TONS of it).
Seriously, it's a pretty good idea I think.
