    I think Texans would rather just be their own country instead of splitting up

      Texas will secede before they allow the state to be split.

      But seriously, driving half a day anywhere else will let you see at least 3 states. In Texas that'll get you from Lubbock to Houston.

          Yeah, according to wikipedia there have been and are a whole bunch of different state partition proposal involving a good many of the states.

          Also, when Texas was voluntarily annexed by the U.S., one of the stipulations of the agreement was that it could be divided into as many as 5 states, though obviously they remained one big state only ceding some western and northern areas to the U.S.

            That's just the opinion of the loud and obnoxious few. As much as I love Texas, I'd leave the State at once if any plan to secede was made final.

                  Better be careful who you vote for Governor this election. One dude changed his name to secede and promises to secede from the US within 100 days.

                    I kinda want Texas to secede just to see exactly how long it takes for the state to beg to rejoin the Union.

                      Wait, a candidate literally changed his name to, "Secede?"

                        It seems to be way too easy for a state to secede from the Union. Compare it to Quebec and they had to go through two referendums which the people voted yes or no to stay in Canada.

                        We almost lost Quebec in '95 as Chretien sat on his duff for most of the period leading up to the vote until nearly too late when he made some impassioned pleas.

                          It's pretty much impossible to secede from the US. A governor isn't going to be able to do anything.

                            Since when has Verizon stopped forcing you to get the $30 Data Plan? I was shocked yesterday whenever I upgraded to the Note 3 that they told me I could keep my 300MB plan and my bill wouldn't be touched.
