You can't have it both ways, i.e. kudos to Indianapolis for making the top 10 but shame on California cities for making it. It's just hypocritical.

And November hasn't happened, so the current president is Barack Obama, whether you like it or not.

Mitt Romney would let this whole nation collapse before he would let anyone touch his off shore tax havens.

If anything his statement is a reminder that Indiana is the red blotch in the Great Lakes/Upper Midwest region surrounded by (historically) blue states (Iowa is back and forth). It's the red-headed stepchild of the region.

yep.
and Indiana is prospering way more than our neighbors.
only Ohio has a lower unemployment rate than Indiana and thats questionable after the BLS screwed up big time on their numbers over the past 2 months.
Indiana also has the best business climate in the midwest/one of the lowest tax burdens.
Indianapolis is the fastest growing city/metro in the midwest too.
So Red State Indiana is sure looking good

I will repeat this again:

Indianapolis isn't the fastest growing city in the Midwest.
Indianapolis isn't the fastest growing metro in the Midwest.
Whether you like it or not, Ohio has a lower unemployment rate than Indiana.
Illinois has a GDP nearly 2.4 times that of Indiana, despite the fact that Illinois only has ~ 1.9 times the population.
Illinois and Minnesota have the highest GDP per capita of any states in the Midwest.

You should really just stop lying to make Indiana seem better than it is. I'm glad not all Hoosiers are like you.

Any predictions for the 2013 rankings?

I'm expecting to hopefully see a Salt Lake area suburb, and somewhere in Northern Virginia.
