I'd rather live in the exurbs of Chicago, where I currently live. Staunch republican area with the conveniences AND challenges of suburban living. But close enough to the cultural and economic capital of the Midwest. Four seasons too. And nice people. Plus I've lived here my whole life.
Minnesota is OK, but just a little too cold. I went there for a weekend once and saw the Metrodome and the Mall of America. We also stopped in the suburb of Woodbury on the way home... I s'pose I wouldn't mind living there.
People from Chicago can't talk about Minnesota being too cold.
People from anywhere east of the Rockies and north of Virginia can't talk about anything being too cold. 
I suppose so. It is slightly colder there though, by about 10-15 degrees. And I don't think anyone would want to live in International Falls or Embarass, the two Minnesotan towns always competing for the "icebox" of America award.
