*sigh*  I'd be rushing to get out of downstate even faster if this was the case.

It's time for a ticker-tape parade for this thread I think!

I've talked to someone from Upstate NY about this, and they are likewise just as clueless about who would step up for the new state's leaders, from either party really.

Oh wow, I guess that says a lot about the degree of political alienation that the Upstate suffers from the NYC metro. Tongue

It's coming from someone who's a fellow political scientist too Tongue

Ah, that's an excellent write up too.  I actually didn't suspect the Floridas would be that interesting.  Granted, maybe that's because one of the other people in my Poli Sci grad program is from Florida and I've just attuned myself to what he's said about it already.

That map will certainly come in very handy.

I'm not so sure about merging the two Carolinas.  They do have some significant differences, both now and historically after all.  If we're making requests, though, did you consider naming the state of Chicago "Cook" instead?  Sometimes when discussing a breakup of IL that's the name I like to go for.

I'd say Aurora would at least have a shot if you wanted someplace that wasn't crowded (politicians hate traffic, after all Wink )  But eh, not surprising, yet interesting cause I have a vested interest nonetheless Wink  Though personally I'd prefer Lisa Madigan as governor, as while I like Quinn, he does some boneheaded things at alarming regularity...  I'm not in Chicago though so I'll be busy being quashed under Brady's heel no doubt Tongue

Really, considering Kirk is definitely a Republican I can live with, please let him stay down here.  Please Tongue

We're doomed with Brady anyway though...

Ah, the tiny tiny type of distinction that political scientists like me would eat up in debate.
