The problem here in Maryland is that outlying Counties on the eastern shore. Western Maryland and Southern Md. would love to dump O’Malley and his Democrat cabal, but he has the middle of the state, and it’s Obama voters locked in.

Perfectly constitutional. Takes only a majority of votes in the state legislature and in Congress. Which, of course, is not gonna happen.

WOOHOO!!! Estes Park is in Larimer County.

I love it there. Wouldn't mind finding me a piece of land and building a log home there, when retirement time comes around.

Was there once, about sixty years ago. What a beautiful place.

I’d love to see something like this get started in north Florida. Draw a line from north of Daytona Beach, to Gainesville (University of Florida) and over to north of the Tampa Bay area, and everything under that line would become “New Florida” or “South Florida.” We’d still be stuck with Tallahassee but we could deal with it.

We could add south Ga too to that mix. I would go for it even if it does not go that far south into Fla. My sister in law and her husband live in St Augustine and they are wide eyed liberals as are most of their nearby neighbors whom I have had the displeasure of meeting.

Don't be so quick to include Charles County in that generalization; for the most part it's gone over the the Dark Side after years of Liberal migration from Prince George's county to the north.

Typical scenario: they've ruined their area with years of Liberal insanity and one-party corruption; now they're migrating south for better schools, lower taxes and less crime: the same thing their forebears did when they moved out of D.C. into then-conservative, rural Prince George's County in the 60's and 70's.

My first time there was about 13 years ago.

I was driving up from Denver, with my buddy's sister, along US-36.
We came around a curve and the valley opened up in front of us, then Rocky Mountain National Park came into view to the left of us.

I took a literal gasp and said "WOW".
My buddy's sister said "Yep, I was expecting you to do something like that."

Now...EVERY TIME I go to Colorado, I make my way up to EP and RMNP.

This is about what I saw the first time.

Maybe it could happen if they link up with the people in Washington, DC who also want to be a state. DC has around 630,000 population, more than Wyoming and Vermont. Past tradition has been to introduce pairs of states on opposite sides of some idea. Here we have DC, Liberal, and “North Colorado” and contiguous areas, conservative.

What? Jefferson County? Where Denver is.
South of Boulder County, the liberal arm pit of the state.

If Congress were to veto a legitimate Article IV Section 3 act by the states along party lines solely for the petty national political party agenda purposes of a few key individuals, it would be another reason to call for an Article V convention to repeal the 17th amendment and return control of Congress to the states.
