When you think of "the 51st state," which country do you think of?

[Massacure]

1. Puerto Rico

[mainegreen]

3. Jinx!

[Massacure]

29. Massacure Massacure Massacure.

:shrug:

[mainegreen]

2. Puerto Rico

[Ron Green]

4. Puerto Rico.

[Catherine Vincent]

5. I thought it was Puerto Rico?

But I've always thought Canada was a part of the United States like, say...kissing cousins. :-)

[tuvor]

7. Geeze...If I weren't so ignorant about Puerto Rico, I'd've included it.

:blush:

[Art_from_Ark]

33. There was no need to include Puerto Rico

since you specified "country", which Puerto Rico is not (it is a territory).

[tuvor]

35. That's right!

Thanks for the save! :)

[tomp]

6. new york city! nt

[mcscajun]

11. We *did* try...back in the late 60s

:)

Norman Mailer and Jimmy Breslin spearheaded the effort. But NY State would Never let NYC go....never.

[tomp]

23. is it up to new york state? nt

[mcscajun]

25. A city cannot separate from a state without the state's approval.

I don't know if that's true in every state, but it probably is. It certainly is the case in NY State.

[OhioBlue]

8. yeah - Puerto Rico. n/t

[mcscajun]

9. None of the above...

...in fact, None.

I don't think of a "51st State" at all.

[Bjornsdotter]

10. Puerto Rico n/t

[Liberal Veteran]

12. I thought Puerto Rico too.

Hmm.

[readmoreoften]

13. Puerto Rico. /nt

[lapfog_1]

14. Canada has the oil (+oil sands) -

Not that *I* want to annex anything.

[StellaBlue]

15. Puerto Rico.

[proud patriot]

16. Puerto Rico

[Pathwalker]

17. Puerto Rico.

geez!

[drfresh]

18. I think of that sweet movie with Samuel L Jackson

later renamed Formula 51. Nothin' like seeing Sam kicking ass with a nine iron while wearing a kilt :)

[peacetalksforall]

19. If Castro passes while the Republican's are still in power, Cuban-

Americans will make sure the U.S. Cuban-Americans take over Cuba. However they may not want to make it the 51st State if they find that they can
'operate more freely' without statehood. They may opt for new laws rather than U.S. laws - you know like workman's compensation stuff - or perhaps the corporations will move in and fight statehood.

[Mr_Spock]

20. Puerto Rico!!!

Somebody missed something :D

[longship]

21. P.R.

This one's easy.

[oasis]

24. Yes. P.R.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

22. Puerto Rico (or Guam)

[IChing]

26. Voted ..other like Halliburton, Exxon, Enron, GE, MacDonald Douglas...etc

actually we are more like the client states to these guys.

[lastliberalintexas]

27. Washington, DC

Can't believe I'm the first to post that either, since there is actually still a drive for DC statehood, unlike Puerto Rico.

[Bretttido]

44. Fat chance on DC while Republicans are in power.

DC is basically two free dem senators and 1 free dem representative. I'm all for it!

[Lithos]

28. Washington DC or Puerto Rico

51 and 52.

30. Puerto Rico, My Hearts Devotion: Let It Sink Back In The Ocean...

Always the hurricanes blowing. Always the population growing... ...And the money owing.

[Paulie]

31. Poland!

Can't forget about Poland. Let us eat Perogi!

[lpbk2713]

32. Puerto Rico

[Orangepeel]

34. like almost everyone else, I thought Puerto Rico. What were you thinking?

what did you think would be the answer when you wrote the poll?

[tuvor]

37. I'll give you a hint.

I'm Canadian, and it's been hard for me not to notice you guys over the past few decades.

[Orangepeel]

39. Oh, okay!

That also explains why P.R. didn't come to your mind!

(y'all are at best 53rd! :D)

[Bluebear]

38. Other: Puerto Rico. nt

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

40. Hint: I acquired a New Model Army earworm by reading this. -nt
