I don't know whether or not I'd live in Wabash or Appalachia, given that the boundary lines look like they'd fall right in the middle of Lexington. But I don't know that I want to be part of the same 'state' as Indiana!
In addition to the intellectual appeal of eliminating cross-border metropolises, and making small states larger and large states smaller, there's also the emotional appeal: we get our own state! We're not NYC's forgotten stepchild anymore! Come, proud Mohawkians, let us stride boldly forward into this new era of recognition and self-respect!
My only complaint: why do they call SW Ohio "Erie"? It doesn't border Lake Erie, and the Erie Indians never lived there. Humph.
