to me. this would have to be exhaustive in its data gathering, source, and other factors. the assets of a state would have to be one of the baseline considerations, and i don't think i saw that category. naturally, we all know that less does not always compute to necessarily inferior status, as seen by the current crisis in the housing market, jobs market, etc. imo, stastically speaking, to get any reasonable and reliable interpretation of the "best run" or "worst run", one would have to apply the same standards to all states, decide which method you would use to measure your information, what standard deviation you would apply, etc. a great deal to measure, which would have to use a good deal of advanced math formulas and statistics.
I got a reputation comment full of insults Anonymous insults from cowards, is that what people are like in Dakota? Good for Dakota that character was not evaluated in that ranking
There is no Dakota. There is North Dakota and South Dakota, and there is nothing wrong with the character of the people who live here. In fact, the rest of the country could learn a thing or two from them.

You’ll have to read the last page (#7) and read the methodology of how they ranked the states and their stats from a verity of sources.
Many other factors play into the state ratings. When you look at what qualifiers were used to identify state ratings you’d have to discount the political view and focus on other factors. As an example look at the graph for the violent crime rates, also the graph with percent without health insurance shows the top seven as republican. The bottom 14 states below the poverty line (on the graph) are all republican states and located in the south.
Simply republican or democrat voting doesn’t "Bingo" anything.
Acutally we have a democratic governor who was just reelected (who I voted for even defining myself as conversative), a democrat attorney general, and Louisville has a democratic mayor. Kentucky is not completely red, just has a long-standing sucky way of doing things.
I wonder about that list, Delaware which ranks 21st fell ten spots from last year and now has the 3rd highest violent crime rate in the U.S. Yea right, reading that you might think we have murders everyday or something.
New Mexico is #41, which is not far off what I expected.
