Since we we working on this on a different board, may I ask if you had any specific criteria?

By the way, what board is that? I'd be interested in seeing this discussion.

Josh22, I'd like to echo the request for criteria. What are you basing the states on?

If I were doing this, I would start with economic/media market/agricultural regions and geographic features.

Well I took the 2000 county map and put as many democrat counties  or republican counties in the states..

So you're trying to make each state as Republican or Democratic as possible? I'm not sure I follow.

I don't know, Josh, seems like a rather flimsy basis for creating states. After all, these things can change rather quickly. Wouldn't economic, social, and geographic realities be a more solid ground for drawing state lines?

Not that our actual state lines are based on anything logical -- rivers and straight lines. Hmm. Not much thought put into that.
