Should Delaware be assimilated?

[Renew Deal]

Should we make Delaware part of Maryland or New Jersey?

[Mutley]

1. Maryland.

Then we can have ALL the beaches! BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

[kick-ass-bob]

2. Other: North Carolina.

Then maybe we can win some dem elections.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

3. Resistance is futile.

I say let the Borg have 'em.

[Botany]

4. get the del out delmarva

besides many people in Delaware speak Marylandese all ready.

Maryland uber alles ...... Northern Va and West Va too.

[havocmom]

5. It appears that Delaware is taking over

:shrug:

[melody]

6. I usually avoid Delawareness here, but...

Relax, Delaware doesn't really exist:

7. I say we take over the rest of the Delmarva Pennisula and

declare our independence from the rest of the United States!

[kick-ass-bob]

8. One more vote!!

for greatest --- C'mon!

[Mutley]

10. Done!

[Patiod]

9. The North goes to PA, --MD can have Slower Delaware

The only downside is losing the opportunity to drive a few miles to get tax-fee big-ticket purchases and cheap gas

[LynneSin]

13. Gas is cheaper over the bridge in NJ

and they pump too

[Patiod]

16. You're right

How do they do that?

[dcfirefighter]

11. Who gets the chickens

I'll take the beaches, leave NorDel to PA/NJ
Maryland doesn't want NOVA
Assimilate DE and make the Metro DC area the 50th state: Colombia

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. Why not make something else become part of Delaware?

I kind of like the idea of annexing a Caribbean island as part of the state.

[Met Knup]

14. If you knew your history, you would know that..

Delaware was originally part of Pennsylvania and was broken off during colonial times. Pennsylvania is the obvious candidate.

But why would we want to get rid of 2 Democratic Senators from Delaware?

[LynneSin]

15. EXACTLY - Merge PA into Delaware and get rid of Rick Santorum

:D

[Hippo_Tron]

20. Rick Santorum is already TOAST

Bob Casey is leading him by 20 points in some polls.

[newyawker99]

17. Hi Met Knup!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[DawnneOBTS]

18. I had to vote for New Jersey...

...it's where I live and most of Delaware looks like South Jersey anyway. Oh yeah, we get our gas pumped here too, that is true! But DE is a great state-why incorporate it into another (except to find some way to get rid of Santorum right now-a state can have only two senators, sorry Ricky-you ain't it).

[Hippo_Tron]

19. Well I'm not in love with your two Senators

But I'd rather have two more safe seats for the Democratic caucus then not have them.
