Americas 51st and 52nd States?

[Verily]

I would guess Puerto Rico and DC as the next two states most likely to join.  DC was actually very close to becoming a state in the 70's and I think that with Democrats now controlling Congress and a majority of state legislatures it could happen in the near future.  It appears as though the 110th will at least be giving DC a real representative instead of a non-voting delegate.  Many top Democrats have said that a proposed bill to give DC a vote and Utah a new vote will be a high priority for the 110th Congress since it appears unlikely that the 109th will get to it this year.

Why Utah? Isn't it Montana that gets the next new seat?

There has also been quite a bit of talk that the 110th Congress will go ahead with a plan long in the works to add two seats to the House, giving DC a congressional district and Utah an additional one. (Utah is next on the list of states to get a electoral district, as Ernest informed me recently.)

For all the ppl that are saying DC and Puerto Rico I say never

Usually when states enter (HI and AK) one is conservative and one is liberal, they wouldn't enter one state that would vote 85+ Dem and one that vote 60+ Dem at the same time, if its DC expect Guam or at least something conservative.

typical conservative BS there, putting petty politics ahead of the good of the people...

Well, liberals do it sometimes, too. Still, it's absolutely disgusting, and reeks of stupid things like the Missouri Compromise that just made the issue of slavery blow up even worse.
