Texas is obviously first. Texas controls the content of the school books in most states, that future members of Congress will have been brainwashed from.

Florida, for the time being, is second, because it will be the swing state in any close presidential election. In other words, your vote for president will be meaningless, unless you live in Florida.

3. The big large state who cannot put out a decent president even if it was trying to
Oh come on now, Johnson wasn't THAT bad was he?

Cause they got Hollywood, lots of people and pretty weather lol. California definitely has some power but there not the most powerful state.

Wouldn't it be Md and Va? I mean we mine as well lump DC in with them and DC makes all the rules so I guess they're the most powerful.

Big 12 championship, please.

Oops, I just realized that post was 2 years old. Oh well.


I agree with Washington being part of the top 10. They have many corporations based in Seattle and a lot of money is flowing in that economy.
