It sounds like S. Florida actually has a good case here since global warming is already having an effect on the southern part of Florida but not the rest of the state.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet, but apparently the city of Miami passed a resolution that favors the secession of South Florida.

South Miami. Difference of about 407,845 people. That said, I'm in full support of this - anything that both makes the University of South Florida's name actually make sense (it'd be the flagship public university of the State of South Florida) and puts my education under the control of someone other than whoever the hell The Villages sends to the state legislature is alright with me.

I completely agree.

I also find it kind of funny that people think Orlampa is more like North Florida, when culturally and politically I've found it to be closer to Miami than Jacksonville.

Anybody got any data on how each state would vote in the 2012 prezzy/2010 gov elections?
