No one can seriously believe that any state would/could take action to do so. All the talk about it is just so much wishful thinking by those that are fed up with the current state of affairs.The real issue is that to the best of my knowledge never in the history of the USA since the Civil war has anyone been fed up with the US government or the results of an election to the point that over 600,000 Americans from 30+ states have gone on public record stating that they want their state to secede from the union. And for ever yone of those 600,000 that signed how many Americans feel the same but just won't go on public record saying so.It may seem silly to many - hell - most - but this whole secession petitition thing is new. 600,000 signers may not seem like many out of the 320 million citizens of the USA but every movement, every war, the founding of every new nation has its beginnings rooted in little things.Is the 2012 election the one that future scholars will look back on when reviewing the history of the USA and say that was the tipping point. That was the beginning of the end of the American experiment?</blockquote>
