Talk: Secession

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Someone might have mentioned this in some internet chat room, but this didn't seem to be serious enough to be worth mentioning.

After the 2004 presidential election, there is also some initial speculative talk about options for "blue states" (i.e. states with Democratic voting majority for President) to secede from a Republican controlled federal government.

The "Jesusland" article, ironically enough, makes a cognent comment about this, stating how that most states are in fact "purple" (the mixture of red and blue) and that something as serious as secession could hardly be undertaken realistically in the absence of, say, around a two-thirds majority support, which neither party has in almost any part of the country.
