Boycotts are not going to work. Seriously. The people are not smart enough to make it happen, honestly.

There was a boycott organized of the "Arizona Ice Tea" brand. Thing is that isn't made in Arizona.

There is no way businesses are going to stop selling products to AZ. They might stop buying from AZ, but no way they are going to tell AZ to take their dollars anywhere else.

The Grand Canyon isn't moving.

I think perhaps there is a possibility the MLS All Star game could be taken away - I think it's scheduled to be here in 2012. Maybe a convention or two. But is possible that there is enough support of some groups that it will inspire them to bring their conventions or business here. I think last I heard nationwide the polls showed a solid majority of 57% in favor.

With that in mind, I just don't see their being enough motivation of most to organize or support boycotts.
