It's far from certain yet, and the vote result won't be announced until 01 October. But Wyoming and Montana are very much two very popular choices, with proponents of a western goal state sometimes referred to as *cowboys* in certain FSP circles; I'm the moderator of the FSP Wyoming information repository and discussion board website and I certainly don't mind being called that, though there are a few who say it with a sneer that's not particularly appreciated.
Likewise, the most popular state among the likely Eastern possiblities is probably New Hampshire, which really does have a lot going for it, as well as some disadvantages, of course- they're ALL just such a toss-up or there'd be no need for a choice and vote. And those resident in and favoring a move to New Hampshire are sometimes known as *Hampsters* among their porcupine brethern, but if that becomes the chosen state, I'll happily accept that tag myself.
I really wish the resources and capability to begin the initial effort could have simultaneously taken place in both a eastern and western location, keeping us from having our porcupine eggs in one basket; but every resource possible is going to have to go to making a go of it in a primary locale instead; so be it.
If it does come off either with a modicum of success, additional efforts will flow to other states soon enough. And in the not-impossible event that the numbers of participants REALLY snowball and begin to overflow the Free State home, all that political, social and legal data compiled to help make the choice of the pilot state the right one will be available for updating for additional efforts.
Liberty in our lifetime...and not just in one lone state haven, either....
