TUCSON, Arizona (Reuters) - A long-simmering movement by liberal stalwarts in southern Arizona to break away from the rest of the largely conservative state is at a boiling point as secession backers press to bring their longshot ambition to the forefront of Arizona politics.
A group of lawyers from the Democratic stronghold of Tucson and surrounding Pima County have launched a petition drive seeking support for a November 2012 ballot question on whether the 48th state should be divided in two.
If this gets by Congress, then Arizona gets 2 Senators for 4 Congressional districts, while Babs Boxer thinks our 2 senators for 53 Congressional districts is just fine.
If ever there was evidence that liberals have zero sense about democracy, this is it.
