With all the frustration that people feel toward the federal government as jobs disappear and companies get bailed out it seems that you can't turn on the news without hearing about "tea parties" and now there's talk of Texas seceding.  Really?  I thought this random fact from a Time magazine article was interesting.

Most experts say the notion that Texas can legally secede is mistaken, but the state does have the right to split into five states, offering the prospect of 10 U.S. Senators, math that would send cold shivers down any Democratic back.

So what do you think?  Is all the secession talk just political posturing by the governor of Texas?  Or would my fellow Texans seriously consider the possibility of splitting the state in 5 or even consider more drastic action like secession?
