I have gone back on business and met a lot of friendly people, but I always love relating my earlier experience when someone says how nice Texans are. (as long as you're not a pot smoking hippy or black)

I know this will set off more mockery than it's probably worth, but I like Iowa.

I like the small-town environment and the friendly people. Crime is relatively low, and there's a lot of open space.

Since I can't vote for it, I put my vote in for CO, since its where I live. The traffic is horrid, but there's good fishing and lots of hiking around. (The air isn't that thin)

Iowa is nice. The air is clean and they have the gambling boats on the ol' mississip. Of course, I dont have a lot of knowledge of the state, the only areas Ive been to are Davenport and Bettendorf(Quad Cities) but what I saw of those areas was beautiful, only drawback is its so COLD!!! during the winter.

I, for one, happen to love Michigan. The most miles of coast line in the U.S. Hot (but not too hot) in the summer; cold (but not too cold) in the winter. (That's right; we actually have SEASONS here, imagine that, ooooh the horror.) Beautiful wilderness. The U.P. Great cultural events. Proximity to Canada--Toronto's just a four hour drive away, Stratford two+ hours, and Windsor is right across the river.

I've been to Georgia. Wasn't impressed.

#2 on my list would be Alaska.

Dont know what the criteria is for a first place vote.I only lived in two states in my life-Pennsylvania and Colorado.
Colorado has far more things to do and much more tolerable weather(and people) however it is far more expensive to live there.
I voted for Nevada even though I never lived there only because of the warmer climate and liberal laws.
Hawaii deserves mention but its probably expensive there as well.
Anyway I live in PA now (and most of my life) in a small city called Lancaster.Its just west of Phila. in the heart of Amish country.
someone mentioned that PA was state of Brotherly love.Sorry but you are thinking of Phila. The CITY of brotherly love(according to Ben Franklin).What a laugh- Try going to Veterans Stadium and rooting for any team other than the Eagles.Brotherly love my ass-better wear a hard hat.
PA shouldnt be on the list since technically we are a commonwealth.Also the state liquer laws are way too conservative-the roads are a joke-and the population is generally pretty misserable.Its too humid in Summer and too cold in Winter.
I could go on but I will spare you all.

It's gotta be New York. We have everything.

Weather: Never hotter than mid-90s or lower than mid-20s. It's warm in the summer, cold in the winter, temperate in the spring and fall. What more can you ask for? One type of weather never sticks around long enough for us to get sick of it. It rains as often as it has to, and not more; we get our fair share of snow (Buffalo has a bit more than it can take, but Buffalo is so close to Canada that it doesn't count).

Terrain: There's something for everyone. Mountainous places (Shawangunks), flat places (Long Island), lakes (finger lakes, lake george), rivers (hudson), ocean (atlantic), forests and preserves (too many to name).

Natural disasters: None. Forget earthquakes, forget tornadoes, forget hurricanes. We don't get anything worse than a little rainstorm now and then.

We have rural areas (upstate, absolutely gorgeous country; some parts of it look like Tuscany), suburban (LI, westchester, New Jersey :cute, and of course urban. Which brings me to the city. You don't have to live there, but it has everything you might ever need, people from all over the world, and great character.

What does New York lack? C'mon, vote!
