Rate the States' Democratic Parties

Which states have the better and worse of Democratic Parties?

I ask, because it's obvious New Jersey isn't particulary trustworthy with key figures who went out of their way to ensure Chris Christie would get re-elected.

It took too damn long for Illinois to get on board for marriage equality; Barack Obama took his home state by over 20 points in his first election and just under that with re-election.

In another Top 10 populous state like Michigan, there seems to be too many yes-men and yes-women who, no surprise, do not stand out for great leadership inside let alone outside their state.


So, which ones would you rate as notable … good or bad?

I would not fail them because they did hold the legislature last night.

But the old boys network in action and not supporting their candidate is not acceptable.
