Which states are Upper Midwest?

[Ban my account ffs!]

Green- upper Midwest

Blue- Midwest

Red- border states that are not wholly in the Midwest, but have portions that are (for MO, the St Louis MSA, for KY, the Louisville MSA and Cincinnati MSA).

The Dakotas are not in the Midwest.  They are Plains States.

Clearly you haven't been to the upper midwest much.

I strongly argue that the Upper Midwest is based around Minnesota and western Wisconsin, the northern half of Iowa, the eastern half of the Dakotas, the very far north of Illinois outside of Chicago, and the UP of Michigan.

Minneapolis/St. Paul is the capital.

There is no other interpretation.

Somehow it seems Jimrtex has thought a lot about this by applying his ideology to regions.  "People from Missour-ah are midwestern but those socialists in Chicago aren't!"

Dude, you don't know what you're talking about.  Cleveland is Midwest.  Chicago is Midwest.  Minneapolis is Midwest.  Omaha is Midwest.  St. Louis is Midwest.  Fargo is Midwest.

The Midwest is better defined as the Rockies to the Ohio River and points north.  The Midwest itself can then be divided into the Eastern Great Lakes, Western Great Lakes, Great Lakes, Upper Midwest, Lower Midwest, and Plains.  These regions overlap each other and the terms are often fluid.

But I've seen your posting style.  You're much more likely to base your definition of Midwest on whether they vote Republican like you.  Cuz you're a true conservative and the Midwest is true conservative.
