    A runaway groom situation would be hilarious, especially if the secret service tackled him before he could make it out of the church.

    Runaway bride would be hilarious as well, though obviously you can't tackle her.

    I have to wonder, though, how much a wedding would actually influence voters - I mean, is it going to make anybody vote for the ticket that otherwise wouldn't have? Everyone seems to be making the prediction that Palin will be an afterthought after this thursday; I'm not sure if a big TV wedding would change that, not if the media narrative is already set against her (which, right now, it undeniably is).

    Re: Georgia as a part of the new confederate union.

    Most of the piedmont region would probably separate from Georgia and ally with the saner parts of the country.

    edit: See if you can guess which region I'm talking about.

    Atlanta can be the new West Berlin!

    Don't expect any airdrops.

    All air traffic goes through Atlanta.

    Distraction only works when you're in the lead and trying to play out the clock. They need something that will sink Obama's poll numbers by 5-8 points.

I mean, a shitload of the people who work in Alaska maintain homes in Washington, and a lot of people maintain split their time between the two states. My bank is based in Alaska.
    Well, I agree with you on Hawaii inclusion and Arizona possible exclusion, but I think the PRA is never going to accept Alaska in its ranks after it saw Alaska someone so inept as Sarah Palin as governor.

    Florida-lite?

    That's soooooooooooo not even close to an accurate description of Arizona.

    We have sooooooooooo much more meth.

    Also our Cubans are Mexicans. And we don't have the fundies, just crazy-ass retarded individualists, and our governor is a rocking cool Democrat that supported Obama from the beginning, despite being basically the definition of the Hilary Demographic.

    Our delegation just sucks a little. But we're doing better. I swear.

    Err... cannabis doesn't grow very well in Boulder's climate. It grows pretty well in southern Colorado, but not here. So, we don't even grow that. And that's why I'm suggesting we get grouped in with the yellow nation. We'd be right at home with their kind. Hell, half of Boulder is from the yellow area (fucking Californication). But, if that isn't possible, obviously Boulder could maintain a strong economy through the export of SCIENCE!!!

    PS: I'm just loathe that you group us with that group of retards in the grey areas. Boulder/Longmont is the most highly education area in the nation and you're letting Idaho have us? I figured you would want us a little more. :( *sniff*

    You know, I might have suggested that Arizona be included if only because the presence of In-n-Out Burger linked their fortunes with California.

    But then I found out there's one in Utah, and there's no way I'd force you guys to take on that reeking pit of fundie-dom. On the other hand, the In-n-Out in Utah appears to be on the far southwest corner, so maybe we could simply carve that out and leave the rest, so that the In-n-Out empire remains unbroken.

    Isn't the In-N-Out franchise pretty fundie, though? I mean, they're of the pleasant, friendly fundie variety but still. (Fuck, I'm Catholic anyways so I don't really care :P).
    In any case, I think crazy fundamentalism would be much more palatable to the West Coast if they gave us delicious burgers and fries after promising to get rid of those damn homos lolol.

    Being that I'm currently being forced to live in Oklahoma, I'd never wish this state on anyone in any way, shape, or form.
    Also, if this happens Texlahoma will have the distinction of being the only nation that has a civil war immediately following nation status. It will also be the only nation who fights a civil war via shitty college football game.
