Do what everybody else does, If the name of your state begins with a consonant vote Texas, if it starts with a vowel indicate Ohio.erosman said:Hi, someplace

Of course having lived here most of my life, I understand that TX considers us that way

Oh You GUYS!!!!!! You're just tooo much! My cheeks hurt from laughing. You've made my night.
I guess I should post the explanation on every page of this silly thread. The "discussion" that prompted this poll revolved around the belief that lit membership closely follows the percentages of population of the various states. Because one is only allowed a maximum of 10 (count 'em ten) slots in a poll, I could only put up the 8 most populous states (in order) with the two "other" slots to cover the rest. I tried to make up for the "other" status by keeping a running tally in the first post -- if you're interested, go back and look. *nods*
Lukky, except for you (with your honorary dual citizenship) I think all the Texas votes are legit. (Many of those Texans have been sending me PMs)
I searched the threads (on all boards) in the past 3 months that have "Texas" in their title, and counted the names of the different posters. I didn't make it through 1/2 of the threads (I think I stopped about No. 26) and had over 200 Texans on my list. As a comparison, I went through ALL of the threads with "California" in their title for the same time period and came up with less than 50. [I know, I was bored that day...]
To be fair, I should post a request and link to this thread in all roll-call-type threads containing place names, but I just ran out of time. I thought perhaps people who are regulars in those threads might help point their fellow staters over here.
I guess the nice surprise is Ohio. Who'd have thought?

One more thing e-man -- you just reminded me....You KNOW that part of your wonderful state used to be part of mine, don't you??? Sometimes I get the impresion Coloradans would rather revise that historical tidbit.

The Republic of Texas
http://www.republic-of-texas.net/archive3/rt-map/RTMAP-0.JPG
On February 28, 1845 the United States Congress passed a bill that would authorize the United States to annex the Republic of Texas and on March 1 U.S. President John Tyler signed the bill. The legislation set the date for annexation for December 29 of the same year. On October 13 of the same year, a majority of voters in the Republic approved a proposed constitution that was later accepted by the US Congress, making Texas a U.S. state on the same day annexation took effect (therefore bypassing a territorial phase). One of the primary motivations for annexation was that the Texas government had incurred huge debts which the United States agreed to assume upon annexation. In 1850, in return for this assumption of debt, a large portion of Texas-claimed territory, now parts of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Wyoming, was ceded to the Federal government.
