Canada is the usual place that people say they'll move to, whether Republican or Democrat. I heard a few comments about moving to Canada when Obama won, but not many. I think they recognized that Canada is a place that the Democrats would love to emulate.
America may harbor some extremist Christians, but that doesn't mean that all of America is made up of Christian extremists. They're a minority - vocal, but still a minority. That the rest of the world is unlike them is probably an uncomfortable thought: America is the only place that they feel is theirs, and any moves to make it more like the rest of the world are seen as threatening.
