Curious again.

What region do you live or hail from and does it affect your political opinions or is it just a cozy place to live?

Thanks, ILNC and Yap for commenting.

I made the poll by region rather than state or even city so that those that wish to remain anonymous wouldn't mean that they are revealing too much about themselves.

I hope more members respond.

I think because NY is not a "Mid-Atlantic" state, for one thing. Probably others out of place as well.

The map is actually off a bit with terminology, but I didn't see the need to make it a point of contention

I did find some of the terminology strange, but then again, so are we.

Somewhere NY was once considered Mid-Atlantic, but for the life of me I don't know where that came from.

Thanks, --T.

Although I consider the southwest to be Arizona and New Mexico. I also consider North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas to be Great Plains states.
