Frome the December issue of Vanity Fair - no story link, buy the damn magazine - comes this poll:

Q: Some protesters against the administration's health-care proposals have been seen carrying signs calling for their states to secede. If you could pick one state to remove from the United States, which one would it be?

A: California 10%, Texas 8%, Alaska 3%, Hawaii 3%, None 60%.

Take that, California and Texas. Us, people want to keep around.
