Its amusing to see so many out of state people who have no clue about its demographics talking about Texas secession. It a majority minority state now and there is NO WAY hispanics and blacks will join in a movement to secede from Texas. Not to mention all the white liberals in the big cities. Do you think any of these groups would be happy living in the new Confederacy?
All I know is whenever I see the rolling blackouts on the west coast and power outages on the east coast I thank my lucky stars I'm in Texas where we have our own power grid totally independent of the rest of America.....

Just wait till the effects of climate change turn your great state into Sahara desert. It should not take long, you think the droughts in Texas over the past few years were bad? You ain't seen nothing yet.
It has a coast and many ports, plenty of agriculture, big cities with employment, lots of guns, oil deposits, woodlands, great people, and room to grow.
We have some of the worst Politicians that money can buy (other than Chicago).
Lucky for our State, the Govenor has very little power or authority. He just get's a free place to live.

Having 57% Texans vote for Romney and pretending that is some indication of a desire to secede from the union is about as delusional as it gets. While it is certainly a substantial plurality having 41% voting for Obama - remember this is just an election - would be exceptionally problematic for any serious proposal to leave the union, which is why such discussions are extraordinarily ridiculous no matter what side of the political divide makes the argument.
If Texas did, so many people would rush there, the state would tip over.
No, wait! That's Guam!
