We have to be... otherwise we'd end up with the political diversity of Sweden 
I support PR statehood as I believe that it would actually be quite competitive politically, unlike DC. The PNP would eventually fold into the GOP and the PPD with the Democrats and you'd probably see either a 50-50 split or perhaps a slight Democratic advantage. I could see the language barrier becoming a huge issue though.
You support it BECAUSE it would be competitive? You Americans really are cynical when it comes to politics...
Ouch...
It's true though that due to the relative honesty of our politicians we have been kind of naive in the past...
We don't really have those electoral problems though, our system can't be messed with the way yours can, so we don't have gerrymandering and stuff like that.
