A lot less Senate representation for a lot of people with that one.

How kind of you, we take all of Mexico's water by damming the Colorado River, and then you want to give him all of our crappy land.

The senate is the big stumbling block to anything that involves splitting or merging. New England goes from 12 to 2 under one suggestion, but California or Texas go from 2 to 6 or 8 under some other suggestions. Neither idea is likely for this reason alone. There is the potential, though for some border adjustments, but outright mergers will never happen.

Agree. GA got screwed royally on that debacle.

I think Texas. It is too big and it confuses some trying to pigeon hole it. Maybe cut off from 35. The west part would now be a southwestern state and the east part can be a southern state

Being of Native American background--- you don't have to lecture me about the giving of "crappy" lands, my friend...

But go ahead and try to turn a fun thread into a political one if you want--- A LOT of people do these days. I just don't have to play along with you though, now do I?
