But not surprised that South Dakota is on the most liked. The upper midwest, whatever it is about them, seem to have their shit together. From Nebraska through the Dakotas and Montana/Wyoming, they must have great people, great political leaders, or both. Low unemployment, job growth, budget surpluses, low crime rate, home prices didn't take nearly the hit the rest of the U.S. did. And with their oil production now, they could practically break off from the rest of the sinking U.S. and probably survive. Is there something they have that the rest of the states don't have? Or something the rest of the states have that they don't have?

This article is about a year old, but it probably still holds true. Makes an argument that there's probably no better place to live right now than North Dakota: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/pf_article_112420.html
