I’ve been hearing about these stories-- you know, people talking about some states wanting to succeed now that Obama’s been re-elected? Well, I say good for them.
I don’t know why they’ve been holding their success back in the first place. Seems pretty silly to fail on purpose. So far I think the states that have decided to succeed are Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi…maybe Idaho or Iowa and some more. Michigan’s been talking about succeeding for a while too, which is good cuz that’s where I live.
So Dopers, is the state you live in going to succeed? What are your thoughts on this new-found motivation for succession? If a majority of states succeeds, will we finally get to stop talking about the damned economy, and start talking about Oval Office oral sex and Saddam Hussein again?
I hear Texas is talking about succession. Well, I say let them succeed. New York had the title of being the second most populous state for a long time. Give Texas a turn now.
Like that time the band my cousin co-founded broke up, only to regroup a week later w/o him while changing their name simply to get around kicking him out.
