1. Then California should divide into 10 states

because we have more population than Texas

[Bucky]

2. FINE!! Then Texas'll dividin into 25 states!! So there!!

5. Sweetie, I looked at all the Texas counties during the elections.

Lotta land with no people. You can't vote if you moo. (At least, not in New York.)

10. Texas has a way of inventing people when they need them. nt

3. Then Massachusetts shouldn't remain a zygote either. I say 15 states for us! nt

4. Seems like they're trying to get 2 senators for each state

Not sure which political party dominates what part of the state but it would probaly result in more GOP senators.

11. yup--they're trying for ten more GOP Senators to destroy our majority.

Patriotic, no?

NO!

6. the states of confusion, disrepair, paranoia, unrest and....

denial.

7. Never happen

They'll all want the Alamo

8. Dividing into five states was part of the agreement when Texas joined the Union.

Or at least that's the way I learned it in Texas History in the sixth grade. It's scary to think of ten senators instead of two.

12. What difference

They could have 100 Senators but they wouldn't be in DC. They some how think they would still be Americans too.

14. Something like that

After the civil war, it isn't clear that the "right" still exists. And actually, although they was some option along this line, each new territory would have to petition for admission on their own.

9. They miss Gerrymandering Delay. nt

[DonCoquixote]

13. If they pull this s__T

Then let's have Northern Virginia (aka the DC area) split up, since people are tired of having of having the Dixie part of the state hate them, while accounting for most of the Tax revenue of the State.

Let's also have Puerto Rico finally become a state, and of course, California could split along North and South.
