John has an intresting post

And while i like what this post is presenting in ways of debate I think we need to take a step back and examine something.

Illinois, California, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania... these 5 Blue states have more Per Capita to be measured then most red states (Florida and Texas being exceptions)

I think allot could be examined when we look at brakedowns by area and see who has the best mode, median, mean , and that other numerica averaging which escapes me right now.

You have more people and a higher ratio of very rich that spreads more around in an average and isn't very representative
