Politicians so crooked they have to screw them into the ground when they die. Stay Away.
Minnesota and Wisconsin the frozen tundra Oct to April YUK

I can only help you exclude two from this list.
Maryland- high cost of living, a sanctuary state for illegals, high crime (not just in Baltimore), high taxes, a horrible govenor
Michigan- going through too much chaos with the economy and Detroit (need i say more)
Two NOT to exclude:
Virginia- Except for the Northern Part around DC offers something for everybody
North Carolina- would not be growing at the rate it is if there wasn't anything good
