I'm not sure why, but option A seems better to me.

[bratty_jedi]

Thanks. It appear to work for other people, so I guess I'll run with it. :)

Hm...I actually think A might be better, somehow grouping everything NY together sounds better to me (though perhaps that's just because you put NY first and I'd say the opposite if you put political first...)

[bratty_jedi]

Thanks. Not sure why I keep thinking it has to be B, but A apparently works for other people so I'll go with it.

Go with the brain! Neither is objectively wrong so I'd write the one you find easier.

[bratty_jedi]

Thanks. I'll just let it go as it wants and stop trying to force it, I guess.

"A" can work well. If you're framing arguments naturally based on the geographic similitudes and only then with the political aspects, run with it!

I'd go with A if that's how your brain is working, myself. Once the sections are written you can always play with switching them around. Good writer-fu to you!!

[bratty_jedi]

Thanks. I've actually written all the sections and keep trying to move them around and change transitions between them and what not. I keep getting ideas for how I can make Option B work but then it never actually will. I guess that's proof I should give up on it and just roll with Option A.
