Good thread, I hope more people jump in. Now is the time to reroute all those disaffected Ron Paul supporters our way.

I responded with an attack on the methodology for the CNBC state ranking cited in the blog. That so-called "study" done by CNBC is utterly bogus, with nothing whatsoever scientific about it. It's so subjectively weighted as to be disregarded as absolute BUNKO.
EXAMPLE California is experiencing massive CAPITAL FLIGHT to Nevada. California is ranked #40, which almost makes sense, but capital flight to a state that is ranked #45? What are all those idiots thinking? Didn't they see the CNBC study?
What's wrong with the "study". Right from the horse's mouth:
"...we separated those metrics into ten broad categories, weighting the categories based on how frequently they are cited in state economic development marketing materials. That way, our study ranks the states based on the criteria they use to sell themselves."
See that? States rank themselves, isn't that convenient? And based on, OF ALL THINGS, "STATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (read=artificial public sector economic advantages) MARKETING MATERIALS!"

Thank you, Murray and Friedrich, I'll take it from here and we'll put it all to a test.

Yes, your criticism of that study is right on. Awful methodology.
