I do have to admit I have a fondness for New Mexico but i haven't been there in years and my memories may be a little too rosy.

My son moved to a different state for graduate research and has his own place in a blue state. I am staying to look after my mom but have considered moving one day. I can't imagine moving to a red state. New Jersey is losing blue people in the droves so don't move here and it is too expensive to move to if you are planning to retire.

No offense but I do know I will not be moving to Florida.
