Why is New England the only blue part of the country :*(?

It is not.  But the blue states seem to have higher education levels, lower divorce and teenage pregnancy rates, among other positive cultural traits.

They can get married in Massachusetts. They can have civil unions in Connecticut and Vermont. I'm not sure where else they can marry though.

It is not ALWAYS grey in England, but it is grey alot of the time because:\nThe UK is right next to the Atlantic Ocean, and so it recieves alot of depressions from there.  It is the first bit of land in Europe to recieve all of the rain oof the Atlantic.  \n\nBut England is actually the least grey of the UK.  Northern Ireland (and the republic) along with Scotland and Wales recieve far more rain.

Sad.  I love geography.  It's a great study. \n\nBut in the USA, apparently something like 75% of students can't find Great Britan on a map, that sort of thing.  \n\nIt's a dying study....

they have never said, in one episode they had a outline of the USA on a wall map and just as someone was going to point out where in the US it was another person, or even that person blocked the map with there body, to my knowledge both coasts were still visible to the audience, but unless we assume that they actually touched the map instead of just pointing, that doesn't rule out the coasts.\n\nI believe each of the 48 contiguous states has a Springfield in it. However I do not know if any actually have a Shelbyville adjoining them. as the Shelbyville-Springfield conflict has popped up often in the last 18 years you could search to see which states have both towns, and then whether or not any state has them adjacent to one another.

It was something that was picked by the television media here in the US during the last few natioanl elections. If you go back a number of years ago it was the opposite on TV.\nNow that the phrases "red states" and "blue states" have become a part of our vocabluary I doubt we'll see the colors change again any time soon.

In 2004, they elected 13 of 19 "red" to the US House, and went "red" for US Senate, and "blue" for President. In 2002, they voted "red" 12 of 19 for US House, and "Blue" for governor. In 2000, it was 11 of 21 "red" for US House, "red" for US Senate, and "blue" for President.\n\nSo really, it is hard to tell if they are a "red" or "blue" state. Overall, I would consider them leaning toward "red".

Some people say that since there is a Central, South, and North America, people in the US aren't the only Americans. It is annoying because we have been called Americans forever, and I don't know why this word is popping up now.

I think because different parts of the country still have snow and ice, while others are in the real spring and summer...\nIt just depends on where you live...

Don't know for sure but i know that New York was originally called New Amsterdam. It was settled by the Dutch. England won it lost it to the Dutch and won it back again. I think because it was not orginally english that is not part of New England. It also is too far south and has different culture.

I think it has got something to do with royalty. Blue stand for royalty. It has a link with the royal family that ruled Italy in the 1861's.

Although it isn't my personal favorite, the most popular color in the United States is blue.
