So...what is the deal?

It is really interesting when you compare this list to the Democrat Vs Republican governed states:



It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

And before the libs start pointing out Michigan and New Jersey, they should consider who governed these states in the past---not the current governors who are helping these states make a come back.

Even brain damaged liberals should be able to see the correlation and causation but they won't.

I am sure glad I don't live in rubbish heaps like New York, California, Illinois, and Massachusetts.

Go dems! Look at all the places you have left to screw up.

In which states do the Governors control the 3 criteria used to determine the rank?
Looks like they kinda blew it on the SD key companies list.

Im surprised Montana is so bad.
