Report: Rhode Island 10th Smartest State (full listing of all states included) Was the original story I posted on 9/28. Looks like Barry agreed with most of the freepers :)

New Mexico is dumber than Louisiana? That's difficult to believe.

I'm from the Chicago area, and I would certainly back the nomination of Indiana! It wants despiratly to be taken seriously, but in the end, they can't seem to get the corn out of their ears.
Also, I'd have to suggest NY. For thier stupidity in electing Hitlery!

[Cvengr]

Which state is stupidest? (most stupid)

That's easy,...New York,

That state voted a non New Yorker of Hillary Clinton to be their Senator after the opportunity to observe her behavior for the previous 8 yrs in the White House as she destroyed the reputation of 'First Lady'.

I'd nominate iowa. It's close to minnesota and for a reading of stupidity all you have to do is talk to the people who elected and re-elected harkin.

"1. STATE NICKNAME: For nickname stupidity, no state challenges Indiana, which proudly calls itself "The Hoosier State," even though nobody has a clue what "Hoosier" means. It could be a Native American word meaning "Has sex with caribou.""

I beg to differ and nominate Nebraska whose football team, the Cornhuskers, once went by the name "Bug Eaters".

The first cut is obvious. Only states that voted for Gore will be considered.

This leaves out West Virginia, which otherwise would have been a tough competitor, what with naming virtually everything man made, stationary, and worth more than $50 after a doddering Democratic senator best known for his Klan activities (not to mention re-electing him so many times). Plus, they are predominantly Steelers fans. >:o

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!
This has come about after much badgering by you, my friends and extended family...

[Non-Sequitur]

On the other hand, we here in Kansas have little trouble running elections and voting without controversy. Can Floriduh say the same?

[Falcon4.0]

I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refute.

It's New Jersey!

How can any Freeper disagree with my obvious choice for the obvious reasons --

MASSACHUSETTS

[BlackbirdSST]

2. STATE MOTTO: The winner here is Washington, whose motto is -- get ready to be inspired -- "By and by."
Can this be modified to read: STATE MOTTO that is the biggest lie: Maryland, The Free State. Everytime I hear this or see it on a License Plate, I want to hurl something in their general direction. Blackbird.

Three words: KATHLEEN KENNEDY TOWNSEND

[katana]

Dave barry should be declared a national treasure and cloned.

[Pippin]

Alright! Who called Indiana stupid?

[tacticalogic]

Why have a "stupidest" competition, and only include the states? Did they leave DC out so everyone else would have a chance?
