Look, I'm for DC statehood and all, but do I have to be the first person to mention the effect the Potomac War could have on the election? Things, generally, seem to be going well for the DC fighters, and even so, maybe it's impossible for them to really take Northern Virginia and make it a voting part of the District before the election, but let's just say they did ... Virginia seems to be leaning Obama, but if all of Arlington country becomes part of DC, surely the state will go for McCain. It's not that I want DC to loose the Potomac War, but maybe they could slow it down a bit?
