California vs Alaska - I hate cold weather, but the freedom of Alaska is appealing. I think the thought of living in the nanny state of CA makes me shiver more than the cold weather...

Hawaii vs North Carolina - I don't want to be stuck out in the middle of the ocean

New York vs Washington - NY away from the cities is very pleasant

Pennsylvania vs Colorado - I'd love to check out western and southern Colorado

Texas vs Massachusetts - easy choice

Ohio vs Michigan - I love Cincinnati and southern Ohio

Florida vs Arizona - my home state. I prefer the greenery and humidity

Oregon vs New Jersey - for the natural beauty

I wonder whether there's some geographic tie to the votes on three of these pairs:

Pennsylvania vs. Colorado
Texas vs. Massachusetts
Oregon vs. New Jersey

I can't say for sure, but it seems that people who either live in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions or prefer that part of the country to others are voting for the three Northeastern states while everyone else is voting the opposite way.

So people would take the hot desert of AZ over Fla (Florida has the beaches though to cool off)?

I am totally with you. I am confused as well, but maybe because Arizona doesn't have the humidity though? Florida is still ahead.

"Yes, but it's a dry heat."

I can't see how that makes 112F at midday more bearable than 90F, tropical humidity, and ocean breezes close at hand.
