Political pundits are trying to determine red states and blue states based on polls. Why no green states?
Crayola has decided on a new mix of colors based on a contest in which customers suggested the names for a new set of crayons representing each of the States of the U.S.A. Can you find your favorite state amongst these colorful names?
