Red v. Blue

"Liberal, quiche-eating, Kerry-supporting" northeast? Why is the left being perceived as more elitist and rich than the right? http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_opinion?id=45220369

I was talking to Moises today about secession along red and blue lines, which Gwynne Dyer of the Trinidad & Tobago Express suggests in that article. If the northeast and a few western states break away, I asked Moises, what will we call ourselves? He brought up a good point: there’s no copyright out for "United States." Let the other guys worry about finding a new name.

While I think Dyer’s labels of "proto-Canadian" and "pseudo-Iranian" for blue and red residents are oversimplified, I agree with him that moving the U.S.-Canada border is a far better idea than dealing with the repercussions of a pro-Kerry move north. As Dyer rightly points out, Canada is cold, and we’ll all quickly run out of elbow-room.
