I don\'t think unilateral succession is going anywhere. Democrats have to believe that they\'ll win too, or else they\'ll stymie any new state boundaries.\
\
\"You've got Oregonians seeking to cascade into Idaho, Virginians who identify as West Virginians, Illinoians fighting to escape Chicago, Californians dreaming of starting a 51st state, and New Yorkers who think three states are better than one.\
\
Separation fever is sweeping the nation as quixotic but tenacious bands of frustrated rural dwellers, suburbanites and conservatives seek to break free from states with legislatures increasingly controlled by liberal big cities and metropolitan strongholds.\
\
"Oregon is controlled by the northwest portion of the state, Portland to Eugene. That's urban land, and their decisions are not really representing rural Oregon," said Mike McCarter, president of Move Oregon's Border for a Greater Idaho. "They have their agenda and they're moving forward with it, and they're not listening to us."
