Well, one is that we know of.
The rest have to know that drug users/sellers/manufacturers will be attracted to the state. And prostitutes. And casinos. And pornographers. And gays (though there's nothing wrong with that, to paraphrase).
The article had it right: "... fringe cult fantasies of a disorganised shower of anarchists and internet geeks." Reminds me of the commandos enacting a resolution in Life of Brian:
LORETTA: I agree. It's action that counts, not words, and we need action now.
COMMANDOS: Hear! Hear!
REG: You're right. We could sit around here all day talking, passing resolutions, making clever speeches. It's not going to shift one Roman soldier!
FRANCIS: So, let's just stop gabbing on about it. It's completely pointless and it's getting us nowhere!
COMMANDOS: Right!
LORETTA: I agree. This is a complete waste of time.
JUDITH: They've arrested Brian!
REG: What?
COMMANDOS: What?
JUDITH: They've dragged him off! They're going to crucify him!
REG: Right! This calls for immediate discussion!
Or those rediculous Republicans, thinking that they could ever replace the Whigs as a dominent member of the two-party system. Or those cultish Mormons, daring to defy man's laws for their religious beliefs, and moving to Utah.
And, come to think of it, though Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose independents never achieved victory in a national evection, they drove the Republicans into a particularly disappointing third place finish. That too might be something to keep in mind as the porcupine presence makes itself known in a state where a lot of folks watch their state's primary results with more than the usual nervousness.
