1. The Rocky Mountain region
It's not the midwest, it's not the northwest, and it certainly isn't the coast, so I had to answer "other".

13. Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Utah
Possibly also Idaho, although some people would call that the Northwest, and New Mexico, though some people would put them in the Southwest.

16. for the purpose of this poll, would the people in Idaho please

21. Yeah, that's it.
California is mostly a State of Mind.

Or, as Gallagher called it, The Granola State.

19. What happened to Mid-Atlantic?
Generally considered to by New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Deleware, Maryland and Virginia. Many people consider Virginia to be the "South", I know, but it's really considered to be a Mid-Atlantic state.

Not that I'm from there, anymore. We moved from Maryland to Florida almost 10 years ago (We moved for a job).

23. I understand this. For the purpose of this poll, I think Va should
classify itself with the South and the other states mentioned (NY, PA, NJ, Del and Maryland) should vote as Northeast. Is that fair enough? I only had 10 options, and this is a world wide web.
