And then democrats would win majority of the house and the senate. And it would probably stay that way for a long long time. I believe something like 97% of all registered DC voters are democrats. The republicans wouldn't stand a chance.
And, I feel, that DC is in such bad shape for many reasons that them not having help from the federal government and them being a state, they would never be able to take care of themselves if they were a state.

Don't kid yourselves. Even when the Dems have been the Majority Pary, there has NEVER been serious interest in granting Statehood to the District. Norton is a joke as have been all her predecessors.
