...from their site the early polls show New Hampshire in the lead unofficially at this time.

Though New Hampshire is landlocked, and the freestaters would prefer to have their seaport access, just in case a little federal extortion to bring them back in line is tried. Neither does current New Hampshire law appear to support ballot initiatives, one tool which the new resident voters hope to avail themselves of to reinstitute governmentr as a servent of the electorate. New Hampshire's 1,235,000 population might also require more sizable numbers than the 20,000 initial prospectives required for the project to achieve success in some other states with a smaller population and lower number of registered voters. But we'll see.

I believe New Hampshire has a small piece of coast snuck in there between Maine and Mass. It seems from what I've heard that Alaska would be out just because too many folks interested in the project just wouldn't make that move. That would leave Deleware as the only place on the list with a coast line.

Your point about the size of the indigenous popluation is a valid consideration however one positive aspect is that New Hampshire's population is not, for the most part, of the same statist, liberal mind set as Vermont's or Mass.'s, yet.
