Candidate who will "change the ways of Washington" winning 75% of the vote in DC

[jackson_dem]

Doesn't that at least look weird?

Obamites: Relax. This is a joke playing on the fact a high percentage of folks living in DC work for the government and related institutions. Have a beer and enjoy your guy's wins tonight!

1. Huh????

What do the citizens of DC have to do with the politicians on Capitol Hill? I'm lost here.

[George_Bonanza]

2. Are you a moron?

So when politicians talk about changing Washington, they're talking about the average folk on the street? No, they're talking about Congress and lobbyists, many of whom don't even live in DC.

3. He's not running for mayor

But you already knew that.

[Patsy Stone]

4. If I was an Obama speechwriter

I would have found a way to get in the phrase, "And tonight, Washington, DC itself voted for change."

[CalGator]

[Patsy Stone]

[Occam Bandage]

[southern_dem]

[goldcanyonaz]

8. Nope, nothing to see here, hope and change are all the rage!

[Colobo]

10. Sour grapes.

[ellisonz]

11. Seriously?

Desperate much. I think you're going back on the ignore list.

[jackson_dem]

12. No. See my edit

Folks aren't getting it.

14. 'Non-State' Washington, D.C.?

I don't think it looks weird at all ... a change from "no taxation without representation" to statehood is a big and overdue change!

(Note that that change did not happen in 1993-1995 when we last had a Democratic President and Congress.)

[goodhue]

15. lobbyists don't live in DC, they merely work there

[John Q. Citizen]

16. Obama just changed how people in primaries vote. They vote Obama now!

Man, you are watching history being made, and you think it looks weird?
