I think California qualifies to be the section, as there aren't that many conservatives that would have to leave there.
Better yet, why don't we just make an entire section of the country for Liberals, maybe in the north east and call it the Democratic States of Libtardia.

They could just change the state name to your suggested one, take the bear off of the state flag and replace it with a sloth.

It seems that Liberals in Southern AZ are sick and tired of the Conservatives spewing their common sense..oops, I mean racist vitriolic hate speech, and now they want to separate from the rest of Arizona and form the 51st state and call it Baja Arizona.
I say WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!! Better yet, why don't we just make an entire section of the country for Liberals, maybe in the north east and call it the Democratic States of Libtardia. They wouldn't last long because there would be no one there to work and pay taxes.

The report shows that of the 32 states (and the District of Columbia) that are "winners" -- receiving more in federal spending than they pay in federal taxes -- 76% are Red States that voted for George Bush in 2000. Indeed, 17 of the 20 (85%) states receiving the most federal spending per dollar of federal taxes paid are Red States.
1. New Jersey ($0.62)
2. Connecticut ($0.64)
3. New Hampshire ($0.68)
4. Nevada ($0.73)
5. Illinois ($0.77)
6. Minnesota ($0.77)
7. Colorado ($0.79)
8. Massachusetts ($0.79)
9. California ($0.81)
10. New York ($0.81)
That raises a question for me.

Honestly i think its a great idea, you handle your own illegal immigration problem while the rest of the of Arizona handles it their own way. Buuttttt Under Article IV Section 3 Clause 1 of the US Constitution states, "New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress."

Wasn't West Virginia originally part of the state of Virginia?

For what it's worth, I don't think they should do it. The number of ignorant racists and old white conservatives who are afraid of "teh illegalz" is quickly dwindling. In a decade, they will all be relegated to regional pockets of stink that no one really cares about anyway.
Wow - how about that load of ignorance.

So apparently all the trailer park Bible thumpers who scream and rail about the Fedral Gubbmint are actually the ones who are receiving the most welfare.
Here's a list of the states paying the most:
1. New Jersey ($0.62)
2. Connecticut ($0.64)
3. New Hampshire ($0.68)
4. Nevada ($0.73)
5. Illinois ($0.77)
6. Minnesota ($0.77)
7. Colorado ($0.79)
8. Massachusetts ($0.79)
9. California ($0.81)
10. New York ($0.81)

Hopefully, you'll be able to grasp that most of the states paying -- oh wait scratch that -- every single state on that list voted for Obama.
So go ahead, please continue the meme that only red blooded conservatives pay taxes. Clearly, that is not the case. For what it's worth, they should just wait it out. By the time redistricting comes around again there simply won't be enough Republicans in Arizona to matter - unless old people start spontaneously cloning themselves. I actually think the state has a decent chance of going blue this time since McCain won't be on the ticket.

Obama should just send the national guard on raids and just round up every Conservative retard and ship them all to West Virginia.
Then they will be able to practice their slavery, bible thumping and inbreeding
