    Highest GDP per capita, highest employment rate and highest property ownership rate... all right here in the last remaining Federalist bastion. New Hampshire is the only state capable of going it alone.

    Texas, California, and Alaska could all make a go of it. But only Alaska would become a serious player in OPEC.

    ....now, how do we convince the Californians to actually do it.....
