I don't know if we ever posted this bit but this seems right up our alley.
http://www.businessinsider.com/poll-how-americans-feel-about-the-states-2013-8
Quotehe United States prides itself on being a union of independent states, each with their own unique reputation, personality, and aesthetic.
After seeing an excellent poll that asked Europeans what they thought of other European countries, we talked to our polling partner SurveyMonkey Audience to expand the questions and try it on Americans, to see how they felt about other states.
The results were hilarious, informative and tell you everything you need to know about the dynamic between the states.
We asked respondents — 1603 of them — to answer each question with a state that wasn't their own. The poll was carried out using SurveyMonkey's Audience feature, which was more accurate predicting the 2012 election than numerous traditional pollsters.
The following maps show that data. Look under each map for details when it comes to the color scale. The darkest color had the highest number of votes, the whitest color had next to none.

If people hate Texas and want us out of the Union so much the least they could do is stop wanting to nominate our idiotic politicians for national office. Ted Cruz? Really? What are you trying to do to me people?

They can have him. Perry too.
Texas or California being kicked out would be a hilarious disaster for all parties involved.

I put in some of the negative on New York/California ones for you. :hug:
Amusing that California is both the favorite and overrated.

I voted for him. He is par for the course over here and I vastly preferred him over his far more douchey opponent. But for national office? A completely inexperienced ideologue neophyte? Plus we do not exactly put our best and brightest into office.

Florida is full of geriatrics, rednecks, Jews and Canadians. Given that geriatrics and rednecks are never hot, that must mean ... :P
