Why care about California?

People in California appear to be successful in getting a vote on the ballot to divide the State of California into three separate states.  Why should folks in Alabama or Tennessee or Mississippi or any other state care what folks in California do or want?  Basically, because it is going to give an advantage to one party over the other from what's there today.  Right not, as things are, that party will be the Democratic party but things do change from time to time and who is to say that won't be a Republican party in the future or at some point. 

Case in point is just look back at the 1950's and 1960's and look at the South.  The South was historically a Democrat, including Alabama.  Remember George Wallace?  Today the Republicans claim hold to the South as a voting block and while that can also possibly change in the future it is in the interest of citizens of other states to take interest in what folks in California want to do, with respect to division of the State into two additional States or a total of Three States.  

Congress would have to approve this move but if it happens it almost hands over control of the Senate to the Democrats and gives them an edge on keeping control for the near if not distant future.  Additionally and of much less effect, everyone will have to change their flags because we will go from 50 stars to 52.  Why not just go ahead and make it even more of a radical change and bring Puerto Rico into the fold and add 6 new Senators to the mix and make it 53 states.   Maybe Obama had something like this in mind and maybe dividing up a few more when he claimed there was 57 states?
