Favorite U.S. State Tournament Round 3

[retromike22]

What is your favorite state? Every week multiple states with the lowest votes will be removed. The first state to 50% wins. (I decided to include D.C. as a "state")

In this round, you can vote for up to 14 states.

Reluctantly had to cut Rhode Island, the rest where living on borrowed time (Connecticut for being Progressive, Illinois for Chicago, and Utah for religion). WOuldn't have been this way if some of my states had been eliminated prior.

But no, all my states remained or were cut last round anyway (Delaware the boring and Georgia the warm)

[Goldwater]

So many of my states were eliminated, that I actually had to add a state (Maryland).

How many of you guys have actually spent time in Utah? It's a very creepy state

[Mr. Smith]

It is NOT, it's too tranquil and boring to be creepy. It's practically the South with dry weather, absurdly wide roads, stupid accents and Mormons instead of Evangelicals.

Your vastly different opinions of New Jersey on the one hand and Pennsylvania/New York on the other are somewhat irrational.

[politicallefty]

Nevada was eliminated, so I had to remove three (RI, UT, and VT).

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Your vastly different opinions of New Jersey on the one hand and Pennsylvania/New York on the other are somewhat irrational.

I've only had positive experiences in New Jersey, and vastly more negative experiences in Pennsylvania and New York.
