    Sounds like an interesting topic.  But the bigger question is, do you think DC residents would be willing to change their famous license plate slogan?

    I think they call it Washington, D.C. too.

    Washington Post

    The D.C. voting rights bill has won another victory. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee approved the legislation this morning by a vote of 9 to 1.

    Virginia's Sen. John W. Warner (R), cast the dissenting vote, but in an encouraging sign for advocates, three Republicans voted in favor of giving the District a full voting member in the House: Susan Collins of Maine, George V. Voinovich of Ohio and Norm Coleman of Minnesota.

    Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.), chairman of the committee, said he was "thrilled" by the backing for the bill, which he said would correct a "profound inequity."
