"sigh"
The Washington State FReepers and the climate make it worthwhile, but for me at least, if it were not for those attributes and the responsibilities which keep me here, I would have moved long ago despite this being the State of my birthplace.
kerryusama04 is recommending Missouri at #154 here, and I have heard many FReepers say glowing, appreciative things about Texas. Yesterday on his radio show Mark Levin said some extremely complimentary things about South Carolina, and so I know that there are other options.
I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to investigate at least some of them, as being continually embarrassed by my State, it's laws and it's elected 'leaders' gets very old very fast.
Don't get me wrong, MO has its problems. We did just switch from the Honorable Jimt Talent (R) to a leftist Claire McKaskille (D) in the Senate as well as ammend our Constitution to allow cloning. But, at the same time, we defeated a tobacco tax. I am hoping that conservatives can migrate to the red states in droves prior to the next census so that the electoral colllege power starts to drift away from the coasts.
