Read about each of the states in the article. It will make your blood boil. Minnesota is the one state that surprised me.

It does make my blood boil!!

The mid-term elections in the US and the RebubliCon/Tea Party zealots used the debt and economy as a huge ruse to simply widen their fight to over turn Roe v Wade. The tactics were centered in gaining as many legislative seats and govenorships in the STATES to build on this goal.

I find Maddow's analysis lately about how the "big" vs. "small" government and getting government out of our personal lives on point about these "states rights" issues.
