    What?! Why would they want to do that?? That's just a waste of tax payers' dollars.

    First. And why shouldn't they be split? I spent 2 mos. there this winter, have had relatives there for years; I've spent time there and think that maybe it's a good idea. Is this all you have to write about, Perez?

    The article states Orlando will be split into North Florida, but the map is all wrong. It shows it in South Florida. WTG Florida!

  15. Megan says – reply to this

  16. HELL NO!!! says – reply to this

    34

    WHY!!!!????

  35. didi says – reply to this


    35

    That idea floats around in California too. Why are they idiots? South Florida is liberal and the rest are garbage Republicans. Katherine Harris etc. I would want to be separate too, if I lived there.

  36. smeejay says – reply to this


    36

    anything above palm beach is nothing but south georgia. how do you think bush got in? his brother jeb's illegitimate sister katherine harris fixed it so.don't blame miami! teeth are the only thing harder to find up there in tallahassee than brain cells!!!

  37. KHi says – reply to this


    37

    No way. I live in Orlando and if the state splits…I don't want to be considered "South Florida" when it comes to my hurricane insurance.

    Youtube look up: SHOCKING OBAMA WORDS His own words his voice from his Book.

  39. Tobias says – reply to this


    39

    Florida is already basically considered two parts anyway. When referring to where you live, you almost always say North Florida or South Florida. So, I don't see why they feel the need to make it official. Ft. Lauderdale sucks anyway. Jim Naugle (the mayor) is a piece of shit homophobe. I've heard him speak about how they need to do anything in their power to get the gays out. Screw Ft. Laud!

  40. Tracie says – reply to this


    40

    Not necessarily a bad idea — separate the liberal south from the bible-thumping north. Would make a lot of people happier with state laws as well as presidential races.

    Will never happen, but it's not a stupid idea.

  41. Sarah says – reply to this


    41

    I dunno, if you read the article they make some good arguments!

  42. KHi says – reply to this


    42

    No way. I live in Orlando and if the state splits…I don't want to be considered "South Florida" when it comes to my hurricane insurance.

    Perez split it on the map. It will be N. Florida

  43. Perez didn't pay attention in geography class says – reply to this


    43

    Good job except you split it into East and West in your picture. Come on now.

  44. Lisa says – reply to this


    44

    Wish California would make a split.

  45. teachnk says – reply to this


    45

    Wonderful idea! SoFla has been highjacked by legislators long enough! Why do we have to constantly flip the bill for the rest of the state! They still money from the schools in south florida to fund ridiculous programs and supposed property tax relief!
    Gov. Crist should run North Florida- they wanted him, they should keep him!

  46. j says – reply to this


    46

    those stupid liberals and their "creative" ideas

  47. blablabla says – reply to this


    47

    guess the rich white trash in the south don't want their tax dollars going to support the poor white trash in the north

  48. ass says – reply to this


    48

    And just why are they "Idiots" Perez? You always say shit like that but you never back it up with any real facts… you know, like a REAL news reporter.
    -
    Please. enlighten us you political mastermind, HAHAHAHA.

  49. ass says – reply to this


    49

    I find it amusing that the people that LIVE in Florida think it's a good idea, yet we should all say it's dumb because Perez thinks so, hahaha.

  50. Tina says – reply to this


    50

    This is a brilliant idea. The regions are really two separte entities. And maybe it will stop South Florida from stealing all of our water for their golf courses.

  51. SFLA says – reply to this


    51

    The reason why this is being talked about is the large difference in the amount of income paid to the state by the southern counties as opposed to the northern and then the opposiste way the good ole boys club in Tallahasse splits it up.

  52. LOLZ @ So FL says – reply to this


    52

    So now Florida will be separated into South Georgia and Little Cuba? Culturally it already is.

    I live in FL. This actually makes sense. I say use the tropical line as the guide between the north and south.

  55. hmmm. . . says – reply to this


    55

    partially a good idea: The southern part should just succeed from the nation and become their own territory. Then, when southern Florida seperates from the continental US during the apocalypse, we won't have to worry about the idiots down there or provide FEMA assistance.

  56. Gloria Estefan says – reply to this

    What the fuck do u know about Florida politics? You're an LA Girl now. Stick to the gossip and the inaccurate posts about Fidel Castro's death.

    As a recent transplant from San Fran, I love it. I hate when people assume everyone in Florida is a redneck…that's only the northern half of the state people. I say go for it!

    hahaha! seriously? idiots!

  59. haha says – reply to this


    59

    It's nothing but old yankees and fucking cubans down there anyway so they might as well give it to them so they can finish draining the everglades and fucking everything up.Fuck it let them have it i'm never going back there again anyway

  60. Sunglasses says – reply to this


    60

    This is a movement in California too. The separtion between South California and North California is a smart move when you think of all the water the southern part of the state uses as compared to the north.

    Perez,
    When you step out of the gossip world to comment on national affairs you come off looking like a 13year old making a jr high year book. Meaning only debating a event on the surface without facts or dialogue to back it up.

    PEREZLICIOUS I "HEARD" YOU THIS MORNING ON POWER 96!!!

  62. orlando chick says – reply to this


    62

    as someone who lives in orlando, I for one would not want to live in "south" Florida… it's just another way for people to claim it as north cuba… great.

  63. Obsessed says – reply to this


    63

    Doesnt matter because Florida is going to disappear from the planet after the next big storm anyway

  64. Summer says – reply to this


    64

    well… it IS like two states. I was born in North Florida - rednecks, country music, farms, pick up trucks. And I go to school in South Florida - guidos from New Jersey, Hispanics out the ass, Hatians too, fast cars, big buildings, nude beaches and lots of gay guys! ;-)

    It is definitely two different worlds… most of south florida speaks spanish first, then english. Some think it should be a whole different country! lol.

  65. Melissa says – reply to this


    65

    I am totally okay with that…In fact, make south Florida a different country all together! They can steal their own money.

  66. haha says – reply to this


    66

    Nothing down there but old yankees and fucking cubans anyway so give it to them.They can finish draining the everglades and fucking everything up

    actually, being from florida (and not the "south" part), i actually understand where they are coming from. did you even read the press release before posting this?

  69. stefanie says – reply to this


    69

    HELL YEAH!!! i hate south floridians! sorry perez!!

  70. native says – reply to this


    70

    that would really be a split between north cuba and florida

  71. Divadeanna says – reply to this


    71

    Re: sarah – Not FORT Lauderdale! Perez is correct - NORTH Lauderdale - it is a city.

  72. Megan says – reply to this


    72

    Perez, as a Floridian you know this makes sense. Everywhere north of Palm Beach is Hicksville!

  73. Stupid Idea says – reply to this


    73

    South Florida would end up being the size of Rhode Island!

  74. Central Florida says – reply to this


    74

    I live in Orlando which is located in Central Florida so let's just split the state 3 ways instead. 3's a lucky number when splitting things and god knows, we need all the luck we can get. For this 3-way split, CF will gladly give NF our rednecks, republicans and bad drivers and SF can have all our…well, there's not much left after that…

  75. Shauna says – reply to this


    75

    As a South Floridian, I think this is a great idea. We are very different from the rest of the state.

  76. SHOCKED says – reply to this


    76

    WHATS UP WITH ALL THE FLORIDA HATERS?

    PEREZ IS FROM "SOUTH FLORIDA">> WHICH WE LOCALS CALL "MIAMI"

    YOU FUCKING NORTHERN RETARDS!!!!GET A TAN AND A LIFE AND THEN HOLLA AT THE MAGIC CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  77. A North Fl. resident says – reply to this


    77

    I live in N. Florida and I have to say this is a horrible idea!!!! Unless of course they're going to give South Florida to Cuba….then it would be okay. :) All that's in South Fl anyway is ILLEGAL immigrants living off of our tax dollars and taking our jobs! By the way not all people from North Florida are bible thumping, toothless, redneck idiots. Could some of you be anymore closed- minded, judgemental idiotic douches bags? Good grief.

  78. Amaada says – reply to this


    78

    Does anyone realize the political reprecausions as in the states electoral college will become split as well. Going from one of the most highly populated and effective states to two separate ones? Also, it will fuck up the senate and the house of representatives. I lived in Florida for 7 yrs and I live in Daytona, and I always heard it referred to and referred to it myself as the east and west coasts. However, it's easy to see ppl wanting a fast solution to their problems and for each region to blame the other. But Florida- look at it on a larger scale, please.

  79. Ashley says – reply to this


    79

    Let's just say fuck it…blow it up and float the left overs out to sea…Peace out, Florida.

    isn't it already?? miami is already its own country…and so is north florida. i wouldn't dare venture in to the deep south of miami same goes for the northern point of florida….altho..you'll find that anywhere.

    Actually, sweetie. There is a city of North Lauderdale….

  84. Marc says – reply to this


    84

    Funny, I live in Fort Lauderdale and this is the first I have heard of dividing the state. Perhaps dividing Florida as a blue state and a red state would be better, which I guess it what the proposed division would do anyway :-)

  85. Allana says – reply to this


    85

    haha wow, as if our state wasn't dumb enough as it is

  86. lala says – reply to this


    86

    they could never agree on what to do with orlando…and without orlando, the northern part of the state would be too poor to sustain itself.

    and what the hell would happen to the universities? u of m going public? hahahaha

    sorry florida, you're stuck with yourself.

    They've been trying to do this in california for years! Not gonna happen. There actually is a county in california who has been trying to suceed from the United States for a long time too and I guess become it's own country!

    What's the point of this anyway?

    Re: A North Fl. resident
    uhm south florida is NOT just "illegal immigrants" we do have Palm Beach, Boca, and other places that aren't full of em, it's mainly the miami/dade area that has em
    so..palm beach county ftw

  92. Lilly says – reply to this


    92

    Great idea.

    When I lived in Miami I always thought north and south Florida should be two different states. North and south are practically different planets, culturally, socially, geographicalls.

  93. Vera says – reply to this


    93

    Re: smeejay – That isn't a nice thing to say. I am from there, and I will bet that there are things about it you don't know, and will never know, but that is okay. If you hate it there, don't go there.

  94. alison says – reply to this


    94

    I live in Orlando & haven't heard about this, but it's the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. I'm leaving the state anyway, so split in 4 for all I care.

    i'm ALL for this. and I agree that northern florida is just southern georgia. seriously damn.

  98. Lucy says – reply to this


    98

    Well I'm from Florida and I think this is actually a pretty good idea. North and South Florida are like two completely different planets. South Florida is basically NY without the snow, and North Florida (ironically) has more of a Southern/Country vibe….. "redneck" if you will. I doubt this will pull through, but let's wait and see. I'm from S. Florida by the way.

    North Florida is like another state. We call it "Loer Alabama" in jest. It is not appreciated by everyone, and it is not appealing to everyone. There is a lot of harshing going on here towards North Florida. Too bad. I do not care for South Florida, but rather than insulting its residents with racial and cultural insults, I just don't go there. They have their ways, and we have ours. Why so nasty, people?
