If we could remove all the counties South of Orlando, it would not even be close.

Still it is nice to be number one.

Now that Kentucky is a bona fide red state, I expect it to move up in the standings. Hell, maybe we’ll become right to work.

I spent a couple of months in Orlando and a year in Key West in the Navy.

Key West was very nice then, 1972-73

New Hampshire is overall the freest state in the Union, combining relatively high scores on both personal and economic freedom.

I miss my home state but not the weather...they didn't figure that into their equation!
