Extra Republican Electoral vote in 2008?

[bgwah]

I generally oppose the idea of DC statehood, but I highly doubt Maryland or Virginia would like to take in DC, so statehood should be explored as an option.

DC+Maryland vote

1,537,463 Kerry (58.81)
1,045,959 Bush (40.01)
30,842 other (1.18)

One, the bill is obviously unconstitutional.

Two, anyone who thinks DC should get two senators should be shot.

I agree that constitutionally DC needs either statehood or a constitutional amendment to get representation. That being said, I would support either option so that residents of the district can get representation. I can tell that A18 is scared of two extra dem senators or else he wouldn't want to shoot me.

I can tell you're a partisan joke or you wouldn't support giving two senators to a friggin' dysfunctional city.

How about Virginia Beach statehood? Give DC back to Maryland.

I don't think Maryland is crazy enough to annex a friggin' dysfunctional city.

^ Annexation back into Maryland would be a fine plan, but what do you do if Maryland doesn't want DC?
