I think you forgot Minnesota...

@Goldwater: Damn...I did, I'll just have to keep track of that one by the maps then and put it back in if it makes it to Round 2... Moral of the Story, don't create huge polls with a cat on your lap

Okay, then here is my map:

Because DC is included, I had to have one state that I didn't vote for in either this or the favorite state  survivor. I picked Idaho because of west coast bias.

...
No apologies for The Plains, Nevada, Florida or the Louisiana/Arkansas/Texas trangle, but some towards Alabama, South Carolina, Mountain West, Northeast, and Hawaii.

No love for my birth state?

Also, here is a map that combines my votes in both of these series, with shading being used to differentiate the closest 5 and strongest 5 states in each category from the rest.

Florida and Carolina's FTW!
But why Wisconsin?

Anyways I'd say the state that I love the most and hate the most is Florida. I love New Smyrna Beach, and rarely the weather seems really nice and cool (picture swimming in a cool creek, except you're walking in it). However there are a lot of traffic, heat, humidity, exurbs, tourists, heat drenched with humidity, and unless if you want to break the bank at the Mall at Millennia or a really nice diner, mediocre to bad food. Oh and did I mention the heat and humidity? Plus the sports are pretty forgettable. And as always the Magic is failing. However Miami's Dolphins are doing okay. Though I'm more of a Packer's fan.

I know it's hot. That's why I picked it.

Admittedly, I do prefer usually fairly dry heat, like California. However, I will still easily pick humid heat over anything resembling the cold. That's why Wisconson is at the bottom.
