Why would republicans want to exclude D.C.? In 2006, the population distribution was 55.4% African American, 34.5% Caucasian, 8.2% Hispanic (of any race), 5.1% other (including Native Americans, Alaskans, Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders), 3.4% Asian, and 1.5% mixed (two or more races). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia The median income for a household in the city was $40,127, and the median income for a family was $46,283. Males had a median income of $40,513 versus $36,361 for females. The per capita income for the city was $28,659. About 16.7% of families and 20.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 31.1% of those under age 18 and 16.4% of those over age 65. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Washington,_D.C.

I do favor DC representation. It is a solid Blue EC vote anyway so what would be the difference?
