Split the United States

At some point one reaches the point of utter exasperation.  Which is where this party is now.  There is no compromising between conservatives and liberals the major issues of the day.  The solution:  let's partition the country in two and et the blues go their way and the reds go their way.  What would be the result of this:  Most of the south and southwest and including Utah, Wyoming and Montana, North and South Dakota and Alaska, (West coast excepted of course) would create a new country based upon the existing US Constitution and Bill of Rights, and leave the rest of the states to proceed as they want with a "living" constitution and all of the big government programs they like and want more of, e.g. obamacare, preservation and expansion of union jobs, bigger and bigger regulatory state.  It's really not all that complicated.  It seems like the country is pretty evenly divided among those who like and want more government and those who want less government.  Let's work out an amicabe divorce and let the chips fall where they may.
