>>You can vote in Canada after a year of residency and you keep your right to vote in the US.<<

I think the non-Hispanic, non-Asian population of the Southwestern US would blow their gaskets all at once if we did the same.

I've heard that the US will have the second largest Hispanic population at the end of the decade, after Mexico. Is this true? What about Brazil? They speak Portuguese, not Spanish, so they aren't Hispanics?

You could but JohnM couldn't. The last thing we need up here is more flaming Marxist idiotology scratching paper and calling it a vote. ;-)

Perhaps we could trade places. I just 'fessed up to Bill that I might be considered a "liberal hawk" as discussed in that New York Times Magazine piece. Problem is I can't see how you could be considered a conservative dove.

Thanks for the invitation. ;-) I think I'll stay in Jersey. It's politics are about right for me. At least right now.
