A feel-good movement only, for sure:
"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.
The ultimate goal of the newly formed political action committee Start our State is to split Pima County off into what would become the nation's 51st state, tentatively dubbed Baja Arizona.
Backers have until July 5 next year to collect the 48,000 signatures required to qualify for a spot on the ballot. If they succeed, it would mark only the first hurdle in a long, circuitous process that even the most determined of supporters readily acknowledge has little chance of bearing fruit."

You gotta say this for the idea of bigger states splitting in two: it would give them more proportionate representation in the Senate.

Think, though; Pima County becomes Baja, AZ, with one Representative, Two Senators. Pretty funny. ;o)
