Pretty funny... just the Austin metro area has 2X the population
and 7X the growth rate of the entire state of Vermont!

With long-term trends like these firmly in place, I am not
worried. <grin>

By the way, I think Texas is allowed to split itself into 5 different
states because of the original annexation agreement in the 1840's.
I wonder if this latest move by Jeffords might revive
some interest in a split down here in Texas?

How does 8 additional senators from Texas sound?

Also, think about the impact on the electoral college!
(at least 8 additional electoral votes, and perhaps a few
more due to "rounding up" of the number of new
congressional districts)
