Let's just form our own country. Newmerica. Basically, Newmerica will encompass Northern Virgina up to Maine, across Northern Ohio to the upper Midwest and the West Coast.
We'll take Vegas and Miami for shits and giggles...by force if we have to.
President Kerry will reside in the capital of Newmerica, Washington DC (seriously, GOP you don't want DC....we embrace gay rights and we have lots of black people) and shrub can be president in crawford.
Currently, based on GDP Numbers, Numerica already OUTSHINES the rest of the country. Newmerica is home to the tech, financial, and entertainment sectors. No farm-based economy here.
Old America can succeede from the UN if need be, and continue to fight the war in Iraq. Newmerica will also cut off all foreign aid to Old America (currently, the blue states subsidize a majority of the red states through tax dollars).
Hopefully, the sucession from Old America can be achieved peacefully.
