Sure, rural areas are more conservative, urban areas more liberal, but that's just a tendency, not a hard and fast rule. Much as I'd like it, a secession by say, California, is pretty much a non-starter. No large group of legislative types is going to want that golden goose gone.
No shit, right? As much as those rock-ribbed red state, small government conservative 'individualists' like to bitch about California, New York, and other blue states, they'd be screwed without the federal money that flows into their state coffers courtesy of those states.
