time produce progressive politicians like jim hunt, four-term governor, terry stanford, a governor and united states senator, or go back in trial a little bit, frank portergram, one of the leading liberals in the south. how can the same group of voters produce both conservatives and liberals? that is a paradox that the state has both liberal tendencies, has major progressive universities. it has progressive areas like the research triangle and a very conservative tendency too. vast parts of the state are very conservative, and so it has -- it confounds people who live outside of north carolina. look at north carolina and say, really, is it a red state, a blue state? it tends to go republican in presidential races, and yet, we just until november, we had 20 straight years of democratic governors. that's the paradox. the state is really -- you look at it ideologically, it's pretty much middle america. it is -- if you -- one of the interesting things that the gallup poll organization does is they poll each state in the country, and so mississippi is about the most conservative state in the country, and hawaii and new york most liberal, and north caro

frank stood his ground. he cowrote the new g.i. bill for the 21st century, a man who was a beneficiary of the original g.i. bill in world war ii teamed up with jim webb from the state of virginia. the two of them put together a g.i. bill that our men and women who served are richly deserving. he offered the toxic right to know law, another great law that he and i cosponsored. it came to -- down to a question of the chemicals that are put in fabric in our furniture, which sadly are leeched out and get into the environment of our homes, many times affecting small children. frank was quick to be the leader on that issue. even though his state of new jersey is one of a lot of chemical manufacturers and produce,he led in this effort to protect families and children. he wrote the law to create the patterson great falls national historic park. after he cast his 9,000th vote in december of 2011, senator harry reid proclaimed on the floor that frank lautenberg has been one of the most productive members in the senate of the herhistory. at the time of his resignation announcement, he set out the agenda for his remaining two years before he left the senate
