Why don't states have FIPS codes?

[eads]

I'm inspecting state-by-state results using the ever-so-awesome get_presidential_summary method. However, introspecting states' FIPS codes yields '00000' in all cases. That doesn't seem right...

AP keys the state FIPS as 00000, if I recall. That's the basis of the is_state property (if fips == '00000')

latimes-statestyle could potentially fix this, though it would be another dependency
