Except that you have a lot of people in New England who voted for Bush, and a lot of people in the Midwest who voted for Kerry. Coast/centre or North/South doesn't take into effect the urban/rural split. So, although the idea of Canada Magna and the United States of Tairrrrrrr is a tempting one, it would mean forced bussing across state lines, and forcing a whole lot of people to move from urban centres like Atlanta to sleepy rural villages in New Hampshire. Either that or you end up with two nations where a significant minority population is disenfranchised instead of one, with even less hope of change. Maybe the conservatives in Transcanada would be treated with respect and consideration by the liberals, and the reverse in the USTaiiiirrrrrr. Maybe.
Tempting....
