With that say, I am very sad because NJ is probably out now and is losing by a lot, most likely too much of a deficit to comeback I feel most people really think of NJ as a dump and are totally unaware of the truly great things the state has to offer. It's really sad. I LOVE that state.

California vs Alaska California is just so much more diverse in people and climate. I don't mind the cold, but not Alaska cold.

Hawaii vs North Carolina I lived in Hawaii for a short bit and been through NC a few times. The only thing I didn't like about HI was the distance from the mainland and isolation.

New York vs Washington NY might not have the scenery of WA, but WA has nothing compared to NYC

Pennsylvania vs Colorado Colorado seems nice, but I prefer PA. More diverse climate and loser to the East Coast.

Texas vs Massachusetts I'm a M******* born and raised. I'm sure TX is nice, but I'd rather be in MA

Ohio vs Michigan MI seems to have better scenery.

Florida vs Arizona I don't like deserts.

Oregon vs New Jersey NJ has public transit and dense cities. Oregon is beautiful, but I prefer NJ's location.

To me, NJ looks somewhat bad on paper, but once you experience it, you find it's actually a really great place. It's just expensive likely thanks to NYC and Philadelphia, and probably because of those cities it lacks any really good big cities, though it's not as bad as Connecticut.

California vs Alaska - as much as I hate the high cost of living and high taxes, I just can't deal with the coldness of Alaska!

Hawaii vs North Carolina - my second home still wins out.

New York vs Washington - New York will always have a special place in my heart, but I don't think I'll ever live there again full time. The cost of living in my hometown of NYC is too high and I don't think I'd live anywhere else in the state.

Pennsylvania vs Colorado - better scenery.

Texas vs Massachusetts - it's Texas. Need I say more?

Ohio vs Michigan - I've lived in Michigan for three summers and absolutely love the beauty of northern Michigan.

Florida vs Arizona - dryer heat from what I hear would win out for me.

Oregon vs New Jersey - milder weather would win out for me.

WOW, Pennsylvania vs Colorado is still very tight. Hawaii as literally turned the ties around. Massachusetts is still not out of the race yet. Will be very interesting to see what happens within the next few days prior to deadline.
