montana - already threating it. and fairly able to do it from an economics stand point and population wise.

tx if it was going to do that i think it would pull the other hat trick it has first. which is to divide into 4 states, thus quadrupling its rep on the hill, while in the house might suffer in some parts of texas... i believe thats what i read about tx state consitution or was its charter...

frankly I cant see many places jumping ship. alaska maybe but they have a lot of need and a lot of advantages by being a state. Montana probably not its easier for them to stay. Tx I don't think could pull it off any more. People willing, buisness not willing as well as gov. Ok.... when i lived there i thought the whole point of OK was to run away from it. territories maybe. but right now even with out rep. officialy they get a very sweet deal. For now i see us cutting them off over them cutting off from us.
