8 Senators from California? No thanks.

No.
There would be four states. Feinstein and Boxer would still be from SF and Marin. The new southern states and the new northern state would have conservative senators.

Agreed. But now if there should be just TWO new Senators, both from the new state of Jefferson, the I think we could live with the outcome!

California should be cut in half—North California and South California. Divide the state at Santa Maria. In truth the two states are not alike. South CA is more laid back—the north is too stuck up. Hey, we in South CA do not mind if you call Los Angeles LA. But just try to call San Francisco—Frisco up north. Let Arnold rule in the north. We can elect anyone who would be better to be governor of South California. How about Ben Stein? he knows his numbers and he knows the film business.

Pretty good chance four of them would be Republicans. Which is why the Democrats would never support any breakup plan.
