... we all wrote in Sarah Palin as President instead of VP?

On a separate but related thought, one of the things that I find most depressing about American politics is not just that the electorate is so deeply and bitterly divided between Democratic and Republican, but that both sides seem to invest so much hatred and vitriol in trying not to heal that rift, but rather to deepen and widen it still further.  Sometimes it makes me wonder whether this century will see a Second American Civil War.

But the South broke away last time. Along with a fair portion of the west. Colorado went with the South, I believe, and they would this time, too.

Fair enough. I'm trying to assemble all the states that have liberal gun laws. The east coast is going to be toast.

Colorado, which was still just a territory at the time, had its fair share of CSA supporters, but the only military action it participated in was in New Mexico, on behalf of the Union.
