Map Reading

I was just looking at a map of the United States, and I came to a realization.  

Now that I've visited Utah, I have been to almost all the states.

I only have two to go:
Alaska and Idaho.

I figure I should visit Alaska first, on a fact finding mission.  I figure that our next president will be from Chicago.  But I figure the president after him may be from Wasilla.

The parties take their turns
as the country's stomach churns.
