1. Have to vote for Springfield, Oregon. It's where I grew up, and my

family still lives there. :hi:

[snowbear]

3. I just looked at some of the videos.. the one from OR is FUNNY!

They did a really good job..

[Critters2]

6. The video from Illinois is wicked lame.

What were they thinking?!

[Critters2]

2. The real Springfield is Springfield, IL

How do I know? It's obvious. Illinois also has a Shelbyville!!

[ikojo]

9. Yep...this is true and like the Springfield in the

Simpsons...Springfield IL is boring.

10. I like Springfield.

I had cousins there while growing up. I spent one whole summer and lots of weekends and vacations there. We had great times--State Fair, being rowdy in the capitol gallery (my uncle was a lobbyist, and liked us to see government at work), hiking at New Salem. I had great times there. I wouldn't mind living there at all. Good sized, all the amenities without the Chicago traffic (or governor). A great place.

12. To each their own and obviously some

100 thousand others agree with you (including my siblings and mom). I moved to St Louis 20 years ago this month and love St Louis, except for the Cardinals of course.

Being Jewish is much easier in St Louis than it was in Springfield. There aren't any kosher restaurants here but at least in parts of St Louis they've heard of Jews.

I am softening on my attitude toward Springfield IL though. If my sister would really consider kicking out her deadbeat husband I'd consider moving back and getting a job and helping her split expenses.

15. Wow! Small world! One of my cousins in Springfield

converted to Judaism. Loved the Jewish community there. Left for grad school, but he and his wife went back often. He died of testicular cancer, and is buried in the Jewish section of Oak Ridge Cemetery. I just visited his grave today.

14. The state the Simpsons town is in has a Capitol City seperate from Springfield

booyah, vote Mass.

[BleedingHeartRN]

17. So does Kentucky

Kentucky was even mentioned in an episode as the possible origin. Further strengthening the Kentucky argument is Cletus and Brandeen are obviously Kentucky natives.

[Critters2]

18. Oh, trust me. There are Cleti and Brandeens in Illinois. nt

5. I say Springfield, Oregon.

Does that that mean Eugene = Shelbyville.

There's also a lot of Portland in Springfield. And also I think St. Helens, and Kelso/Longview.

[SarahB]

7. Springfield, MA

:thumbsup:

[Bombero1956]

8. yup Springfield Mass

they even got Sen. Kennedy to say chowdah ala Mayor Quimby.

[jmm]

11. Homer could only have performed gay marriages in one state

so it has to be MA.

[snowbear]

16. I thought it was cool that Senator Kennedy took part in the video!

Too funny.. especially how he said "Chowda" (chowder) ~~~

[Bombtrack]

13. national democrats should reward MA for sending a great, all-Dem delegation to congress every year

come on, for JFK's sake. Vote Massachusetts. For JACK!
