Aftermath: A Distorted View of America and Why Seceding Can’t Succeed : Glittersnipe: "Below is the map from The Wall Street Journal that shows the county-by-county breakdown. The average viewer could be deceived into thinking that the Republicans were correct in saying that the country was more divided, and if you glanced at the newspaper in the check-out line and walked away you’d think Obama’s second term was already illegitimate. But that is far from the case: More Americans actually live in those smaller, densely populated blue specks, and those urban areas are overwhelmingly Democratic."

They live on the bus line. That's it. Whoever lives on the bus line gets to elect a president. No way that should be happening. Secession petitions are a message to the dictatorial administration; we know the difference between force and freedom. We are not ignorant and deceived, even with your media distractors. Can't buy into your hype no matter what; liar, cheater, thief, destroyer. You use people and abuse the rest. Go away; America belongs to the people, not you.
The columnist points out that Texas, unlike most "red" states, would have some chance of surviving as a nation but, does not explain why.
Texas has it's own coast (good for global commerce) and, much industry that produces goods for such commerce...
"it’s the deceptively small blue cogs that actually keep the machine that is America rolling along — and it’s the blue states’ money that fills the tank"
...another way of saying that would be that the blue states are where the banking/trading/service industry/administrative centers are located...
Another map that would be interesting to see would be one that shows the distribution of natural resources (including arable land).
To simplify things; if the money collapses, the resources are everything.
