Is it possible to declare independence from my state?

So for those who aren't aware, my states Attorney General is an idiot.  He's on a witch hunt trying to discredit climate science, forcing an already hurting state budget to pay for both his prosecution and UVA's defense of the professor.  This ranks right up there with his decision to challenge health care reform with state money and his attempt to change the 234 year old state seal because it "inappropriately" showed a bared woman's breast...

I understand that living in a southern state means dealing with these kind of loonies, but really this is too much.  Let Ken Cuccinelli be a warning to every liberal out there who is disappointed in Obama and the democrats and is thinking of staying home November 2nd...BEWARE!
