Mass, NY and Rhode Island - the bluest of the blues.
NY gave GWB more votes than most of the red states combined, don't forget it!
The only reason Connecticut didn't make this list is because our population supposedly remained level. However, my feeling is that that can be attributed to the influx of illegals, currently from Central and South America.
My kids got out of high school, went through the Army and now work and study, etc. in Red states, praise the Lord. I will join them soon. But no middle-class kid (or aspiring same) wants to stay here. There aren't enough good prospects.
