If You Want to Be President, Don’t Live In Minnesota
Happy ALMOST Presidents' Day! Monday is the day to take a moment and reflect on the United States leadership since the beginning of our country's birth in 1776. We've had 45 presidents now, and not one of them has come from Minnesota.
Essentially, Minnesota has never been able to produce a leader of the free world. Don't worry though, Minnesota isn't alone. In fact, most of our presidents won the Oval Office on the east coast. It's actually kind of strange. If you don't believe me take a look at the breakdown.
New York--7
Ohio--6
Virginia--5
Massachusetts--4
California--3
Illinois--3
Tennessee--3
Texas--3
Arkansas--1
Georgia--1
Indiana--1
Kansas--1
Louisiana--1
Michigan--1
Missouri--1
New Hampshire--1
New Jersey--1
Pennsylvania--1
I'm sorry to say it, but if your life's goal is to become the president of the United States one day, you might want to move to New York or Ohio. Maybe someday we'll put a Minnesotan in the White House--a state can dream!
