Develop state grouping by demographics #2

I haven't been able to find out how to blend correlations across states, but I have seen how we can add a region GP to the state GP, which kinda does the same thing. But we'll need to define region. Past models group it geographically (NE, SE, MW, NW, SW, etc.), but I think we can do better. If we group by demographics (age, income, race, religion prop, etc.) I think we can it would be better.

Probably will work as a side module. And we can verify our groupings by checking to make sure WI and MI are in the same group.

Need PCA biplot and other clustering alg. to idenfify state groupings (adj for corr).
