Give California Back

In one of my comments I joked about giving California back to Mexico. Since then I have been thinking maybe it is not such a bad idea. California represents 54 of the electoral votes needed to win the presidency. These 54 votes have gone to the Democrat since Reagan and gives them quite a jumpstart each election. Take away that headache along with 2 Dem Senators and a bunch of Dem Congressman and the country lurches to the right in one shot. We would probably lose 1/3 of the anti-American critics as well as some radical left leaning schools like Berkely. The icing on the cake is that we would lose Hollywood. Mexico would benefit from the economic boost which could take some of the incentive out of illegal immigration. California would still be a great place to visit. All of the benefits and none of the headache. Ok, I am still joking but it is fun to think about.
