Just divide the pie in 5 parts laterally slanted so that each state has a north, central and south.

Hehe good idea...
Could say the same for Ohio, but I'd have to move as then I'd be in the Socialist part.

I've been looking for a similar map of CA. Do you know where I could find one?

This could be good. It might actually encourage California to break up in to two or three states.

A lot more Americans have Texas to thank (although their regions went to the US to cover war debts).

Maybe instead of splitting it up we should take back all of the original.

Thanks a lot! About what I suspected.
My county is red.
Sigh.

"South Texas would go Democratic."
With my most humble of apologies, Ma'm, Im' sure you meant 'Democrat' rather than 'democratic'.
Just extending a gracious correction.

FWIW, that extreme northern extension is due more to 19th century misunderstanding of the geography than any thing else.
As I understand it, Texas claimed to the headwaters of the Rio Grande, which doesn't put you anywhere near Wyoming.

Slice the state from "center" like a pie. The resulting lines would somewhat resemble a star.
Population densities would leave major cities El Paso, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas-Metroplex, and maybe Austin in different states.

I don't suppose that little red dot in the center of Tompkins County would be the People's Republic of Ithaca and environs, by any chance? ;>)

The left will never accept splitting the state veritically down the middle. They know "their half" is expected to drop into the ocean when the "big one" hits. Also, they would be in control of oil off the coast.

Florida has two fairly distinct sections. I wouldn't mind not being in the same state as W. Palm Beach County, among others.

God I hate liberals. Look what they have done to my beautiful state.... We have got to get them out of San Francisco... it is such a beautiful city... and the Nazis walk freely there. As a true blue CA that gew up in the mountains... we have got to take it back... If you know a liberal, fire them, fire them and make them work in Barstow or Needles... get them away from the coast.
