Did all 11 states strongly support Obama on Nov 6, or just most of them?

I have a Conservative friend who left California a couple of years ago and moved to New Mexico to get away from the state. Well it appears from a death spiral stand point New Mexico is at 153/100 which is worse than California which is 139/100.

It looks like ll but KY, SC, MS and AL (quick check) are obozo states.

Only 6 of the 11...4 of them being among the nation's most heavily populated states.

If I had to guess, I think military personnel stationed in the states are getting counted as takers.

They’re not all Democrat states, the Southern states aren’t. Forbes’ focus was on states for which it would be dangerous to buy or hold municipal or state bonds, so it’s purely a set of fiscal criteria (as I read it).

Amazing that Michigan is not number 1.
What I’ve seen and heard it looks like a war zone.

Michigan has a balanced budget amendment which mitigates the worst effects. It looks like a war zone because expenditures on infrastructure have been cut way back.

"It looks like ll but KY, SC, MS and AL (quick check) are obozo states." Alabama is solidly Republican/conservative...the last Democrat in elected state office was defeated in the 11-6-2012 election. The entire state government and the Supreme Court are held by Republicans.
Redstone Arsenal, Rocket City (Huntsville), is probably receiving serious federal money.
We have a Black population of 25% that 'draws in' a lot of federal money too.

I’m surprised that Pennsylvania is not on this list.
Seems like I’m the only one at the supermarket paying cash for my items, while all others use the EBT card.

It looks like ll but KY, SC, MS and AL (quick check) are obozo states SC certainly isn't an obama state. We never even saw a presidential ad here because it was already given to the R column.
