Since Atlas likes maps so much, I made one based off of my opinions of each state's posters:

As I am a Democrat, red = Freedom State, green = Tossup, blue = Horrible State. The more someone posts (or rather, the more I run into their posts), the more strength they have in their state's rank. These are just rough estimations, and I'm pretty sure that I got at least one of these states wrong.

The only state that really stands out is Virginia. Sometimes I want to bike over to the river and flip you all off, though there are a few posters that are OK (NSDAP-Member NeverAgain and Frodo come to mind).

Just curious, is there a Maryland-Virginia rivalry, just like there's one with New Jersey and the states that surround it?

Hmm, not really. I lived in NoVA (Fairfax County) for about 9 months, actually. From my personal experience, NoVA is pretty much culturally identical to Montgomery County, especially the western parts that tend to be whiter and wealthier, with MoCo being slightly more fiscally left-wing. Due to the close proximity to the capital, people here don't really have too much "state pride" (I'm in the minority here). Loads of people work for government agencies, to the point where everyday life seems more centered around the USA as a whole, instead of just Maryland or Virginia.

What did Jerry and I do to you??

You're fine, some of your analyses bring up good points, others make my day by being so ridiculous. As of now, my personal favorite is when you referred to the horseshoe theory as being "widely accepted". That said, I can respect independent centrists.

EDIT: Forgot the rest of that guy's username (I knew it was something like "never something") so I went to look it up, hence the bolded part
